Go beyond The New Yorker profile of publishing’s biggest con artist and break through the mostly white, middle-to-upper-class gatekeepers.
Don’t let the Dan Mallory scandal kill your publishing dreams. Understand why even Toni Morrison kept quiet about being a writer when she worked as an editor.
People of color, women from every background, LGBTQ+ authors, first- and second-generation immigrants, and men who weren’t born into money need to see the inner workings of the industry. Only by knowing how the odds are stacked can they forge a path to success.
Written by a publishing industry insider with twenty years of experience, this work lays out the tough realities while making you laugh at the industry’s absurdity. You will learn actionable steps you can take as a writer, a reader, or a person concerned about equality and diversity to balance the scales.
