TLDR:
Diverse books are great and essential to the publishing eco-system.
Socially marginalised authors face more challenges than majority authors outside of creating the work, and deserve equal opportunities. Talent is random, systemic injustice is not.
Readers have spoken.
So grateful to meet the incomparable @gates_mcfadden and even more grateful for her work and activism on behalf of the arts and artists. Her energy and enthusiasm inspires me to keep going with my own creative work! Support #wgastrike #SagAftraStrike
