Literally every literary agent I submit my Scifi manuscript to, says they are looking for work by and featuring "BIPOC, Gay or transgender or female voices, voices from the disability community, and that preference for work to be represented must come from those categories."

I don't have a problem with diversity, I'm a progressive, but this shit is insane, everything has to be and is favored if your manuscript represents tiny minority groups. I fear for the fact that my two main characters are white, and one happens to be a white male, and that they may find me to be a racist simply because I happened to picture them that way.

Has anyone else encountered this in trying to get published? Not to mention the insane pickiness these agents have when evaluating work.

Genre panders to the current trends, it is largely about making a quick buck because 99% of it is going to be quickly forgotten and the only way to make money on it is to follow the fads and give the market what the market is buying. The price you pay for being a genrefag, If you must stick to genre the best you can do is let market forces determine your genre or wait for the market to change.

Things were pretty easy for me as a lit fiction fag, I just submitted stories to journals and got an agent after getting a few short stories published, did not even know about agents back then. Wasn't a very good agent in retrospect but still helped me progress and find an agent more suited to me and my writing.

you're asking for literary advice on a mongolian anime imageboard where every thread gets derailed by double-chinned greaseballs screeching about jews, what did you expect?
>preference for work to be represented
but here's some real advice. it's just that, a preference. submit anyway. just keep submitting to different agents. you only have to get lucky once. on the other hand, they could be rejecting your manuscript because it's not very good. but it's easier to tell yourself it's because you're a white man rather than admit that the writing isn't as good as it could be. are you sure the manuscript's up to snuff? do you have a publication record in sci-fi lit mags? if you don't, it might be a good idea to write some short stories and get those in print first. once you have a few under your belt, then tinker with your manuscript some and send it back out there. agents get literally thousands of manuscripts and they discard most of them without reading because the vast majority of them suck ass. if you're able to lead with "my sci-fi's been published in SpaceBalls Quarterly and Martian Rocket Cock Extravaganza" that lets them know they're not wasting their time by reading your manuscript as someone else has already gone through the trouble to check you can write.

but also, grow up and stop writing scifi.

Probably at least a few dozen, many of the journals have a free period on submissions or waive the fee for the first x number of submissions so you can save some money if you are watch the submission windows. Agents in litfic want a publishing history or a prize win or two or three almost as a rule, few get them without something in their publishing history. It is far easier to get short stories published than novels, short stories you have loads of options for open submissions, for novels you pretty much need an agent.

>> No.22287214

>>22287182
short stories help tons. a friend had an agent reach out to her after she published a short story in a litmag. in my friend's bio, you know, the one they make you write when you submit the story, she mentioned that she was working on a novel or something and the agent emailed her about it. it's much, much easier to get short stories published than novels. don't get me wrong it's still hard but litfic novels are way harder. there's a lot of magazines that don't charge submission fees. check out newpages for places to submit to, but don't be that guy who doesn't read anything from the journal they're submitting to and sends their 40 page long odyssey into the mind of an onanistic schizo assassin to Smiling Kittens Quarterly who mainly publishes stories about marital strife. don't be that guy. read the fucking magazine before you submit to it.
>how many did you pay
I've only been published in mags that don't require submission fees. the downside of this is that these mags don't pay, but shit man we're writing literary fiction, if we wanted to chase money we picked the wrong love. I typically send out a story to like five places at once if they allow simultaneous submissions. if they don't you can still submit to other places but if you get published in Journal A and have to tell Journal B (that doesn't allow simul) that you're pulling the piece bc publication elsewhere, Journal B won't look at any of your subsequent work for a long while. just a little etiquette thing to be aware of

Prove it. European democracies absolutely thrived with almost no immigration for a long time. I think you mean the debt-based financial system would struggle if there were fewer people buying into it, it's like a giant ponzi scheme. But that is different from democracy.

It's the only group you are allowed to humiliate and discriminate against en masse and white people basically just shrug their shoulders at it.

I feel like I am in the world of Kafka, and everyone in the world acknowledges it sucks, but then they go on tik tok right after saying that and go about their day. I would ask why nothing is being done, but I think I already know the answer. There is no hope out. The demoralization is too strong.

1. That was never the case.
2. They are intentionally excluding white men/people, who founded the West in every sense.

Your argument is that perceived discrimination was perhaps the greatest ill of all time, but now you want to repeat that same mistake essentially because your feelings are hurt. But that is not the end of your nonsense. The entire philosophy that has informed or rather constructed your moral framework (which you probably accepted without question) came directly from straight White Christian society, directed by White Christian males.

>There’s a correlation between the number of people of color who work in publishing and the number of books that are published by authors of color,” said Tracy Sherrod, the editorial director of Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollins that is focused on Black literature.

That correlation is visible in our data, exemplified by Toni Morrison’s career as an editor at Random House from 1967 to 1983. Random House’s first female Black editor, Ms. Morrison championed writers such as Toni Cade Bambara, Henry Dumas and Gayl Jones. During her tenure, 3.3 percent of the 806 books published by Random House in our data were written by Black authors.

The number of Black authors dropped sharply at Random House after Ms. Morrison left. Of the 512 books published by Random House between 1984 and 1990 in our data, just two were written by Black authors: Ms. Morrison’s “Beloved” (through Knopf, which was owned by Random House) and “Sarah Phillips,” by Andrea Lee.

They're openly discriminating against white people. And are you just assuming that nonwhites don't read white authors and yet whites will read nonwhite authors or what? Whites are the majority, so by your logic it would make sense that they are favoured in publishing, but right now we are seeing the opposite.
>when the opportunities are partially evened out you label it anti-white.
The idea that it wasn't "evened out" before is fallacious. Nonwhite authors were ways getting published, whether they got famous or not is irrelevant.
>you believe in white people's cultural superiority and thus feel entitled to greater opportunities,
Yes, white people founded the West for their descendants, not for random 3rd worlders who have nothing in common with us. But you aren't even arguing for equal treatment, you are actually arguing for preferential treatment of nonwhites, which is discriminatory.

the only reason you fear becoming a minority is because you know how the majority of white people treated the minorities of non white people. Are you admitting that society discriminated against minorities unfairly for centuries?
the reason immigration is allowed is because the modern economic system needs the influx of poor people that will accept shit wages and treatment. and they are only moving because they live in countries that were exploited by europe and america so it is comparatlively better for them in america. people who are figthing to get better oppostunities for them are not doing so by taking away from you,because the average white person has no money, it is the 1% that makes all the profit, and those are the people that should be our enemies, not white people, not minorities, but those who own everything we fight over. most minorities don't hate you, they only fear that you would turn on them instead of on the people in power.

you do know irish people, italians, greeks, they were not considered white for a long time. in fact Whiteness is more of an American idea. Europeans up until recently only had eachother to contrast themselves. so you would see arguments of slavs against caucasians against mediteraneans over who the best race was. but to americans all of those people were white, and they all founded a thing called "The West" together. now why is it that you can accept so many different groups as white but not others? why make this arbitrary distinction? why do you cut specifically those groups out but not the italians or the greeks or the slavs or anyone else. what are your reasons?

there's nothing wrong with arbitrary distinctions. white is a fuzzy label, welcome to living in reality. white is a fine label and if your conversation requires more precision, then you adopt it then. welcome to wittgenstein

you can look at some genetic data if you want for a scientific basis of race. personally, i don't really care, and actually it's not relevant to this conversation in any meaningful way. Niggers are subhumans homo-erectus hybrids who never founded ANY kind of civilization EVER and the IQ data supports this. For me, the two races and blacks, and non-blacks.

Interesting how right wing writers predicted this decades ago. Pejoratives like "nazi" or "white supremacist" are just used to bully whites into not collectivizing while every other group is encouraged to do so radically. You have anti-white, pro-jewish advocacy groups like the ADL (founded by jewish only freemason group B'nai B'rith) out in the open running media campaigns and partnering with google and fb to "stop hate" in the algorithms and protect jewish identity. Or blacks rallying behind ethnic identity to loot and burn entire city blocks while the media runs damage control for them and slanders anyone who defends their property as police are ordered to stand down and not prosecute. It's pretty obvious who is really being oppressed once you wake up.

Funny, you should ask that. Because the Hugo Awards is the perfect bellwether to what's going on in publishing today. Back in 2013 the Hugo Awards were criticized by male authors and readers of favoring SJW/LGBTQ type stories over actual science fiction. So they banded together and nominated male authors that they felt were deserving of recognition. Do you know what the oh so inclusive, we don't exclude white males, Hugo Awards did? "No Award" swept the Hugos. The anti-white males in charge would rather destroy their own awards than let a single white male win.

Second one said "we're not interested in straight white male perspectives"

Not too invested in your specific discussion (not calling it an argument) but is there scraped data of how many books on the kindle store are self published? I'd imagine it's a fair chunk. If not self published then published by a really small publishing house that acts as basically a middle man.
I really do think it's gotta be a sizeable chunk and most of those people get by somehow (but there's also all the floppers).

There's not going to be endpoint sales data of publishing houses vs self published but when I look at Amazon's catalogue, the stuff that's offered for free or subscription: I see a bunch of self published stuff and I wonder how all that works as someone not in the know.

Do you want to know why BIPOC authors are wanted? Because they sell. Look at /lit/. They don't care for new authors. They want to keep reading the "classics" and shit that's 50 years past their first publication date.

But BIPOC authors SELL. Actual readers that aren't circlejerking the same 30 books are the ones picking up these books. They need something "new". They've read everything from ancient manuscripts featuring Gilgamesh and Enkidu to your diary. They don't want that shit anymroe. They want to hear about some random half african half chinaman struggling in a world that has no place for them in Africa, China, or America.

That's unique and interesting.

Here's a neat trick, which will work if your story is good and the character's whiteness and straightness isn't central to their conflicts. Try removing all physical descriptions of your protagonists, change their names to non-gender-specific ones, and replace their pronouns with they/them. When the publishers claim that the characters are cishet white dudes, calll them out for making toxic regressive assumptions, and get published. You're welcome.

Lol no. It's more that it's top-down social engineering, they are just controlling the idiot masses and enforcing their anti-white conditioning. These gay mudpeople books don't sell, the highest selling authors are white authors telling white stories, and it's mostly white people who read. It's the same with all these social justice movies eith huge budgets that flop. The studios keep funding them because there is an underlying agenda, it isn't the free market at work.
