if you& #39;re an agent offering query critiques/advice/whatever you can also promise to sign new black writers after all is said and done

if the work isn& #39;t ready/you& #39;re not in love you can do the work to make it ready after you& #39;ve signed them

gatekeepers have to stop making room only for black voices that come from white spaces. recognize how poor resource allocation, and over-policing in our schools and communities, along with the lack of representation, all steer us away from employment in publishing

that means that sometimes it takes a little bit more work. we have unique issues that need addressing. it means you have to meet black authors halfway when we don& #39;t sound how you& #39;d expect. do the work to lift us up economically and not just when things like this are going on
