Hurrying as fast as I can to get you my books out, Alexandru!
But on another note, this is definitely distressing and frustrating as we need to beat down this pathetic enemy that is donig more damage these days to literature than good.
I did enjoy reading this. I might add that white male publishers are being let go as well. They give them a severance package and hire a woman, often a black woman. It's got to the point where eventually there will be alternatives.
Who would have thought that giving women more equality would lead to AWFLs trying to silence half the human race. But try to think of the good women you know, they are still out there. Hate these cultural mavens for being elitist, too.
"Most of all remember that the audience is there. If you create good work people will read it and share it with others.
You can be sure I will."
With that in mind, I recommend my own published work, since I've been on the quixotic mission of writing for and about masculine men for some time. But especially my Paradox Series, which depicts the journey to manhood from the misandrist dystopia we exist in in, with adventure, time travel, conspiracy, and full contact sports along the way.
Tough and delicate subject. It sounds very unfair, but just as unfair as it was for women for centuries (don't shoot the messenger). Discriminating against young male writers is just as wrong as any other discrimination. I especially liked the part where you explain why men need to read other men's stories, to push against a society that encourages weak men.
I think we need to find a solution that's inclusive instead of an either/or stupid war.
I endorse this post 100 percent. We need representation, which we're told matters, right? And I think to hell with the mainstream publishing houses is the correct attitude. Let's make our own scene.
The rub, of course, is that these mainstream publishers hate competition and will try to destroy nascent challengers at the same time they castigate us as irrelevant. You love to see it!
I think there's a deeper worse thing than this. Few men read now, I agree those of us who do are being discriminated against, but I know no men I would call readers. There no incentive for the publishing houses to change if there's no audience. Perhaps I'm not surrounding myself with others who read and it's a skill issue on my part. All the new fiction I've read in the past 5 years is by Anons I've found on X
I am reminded of the all too oft cited cliche - “the banality of evil”. Clever, I guess, but seems more the last gasp of a sentence too long. What the hell does this mean? Similarly, the “wine aunt” just seems a fermented timidity of phrase. This industry and others (I am thinking a lot of church’s) have been subsumed by personalities. Personalities that have indulged themselves in themselves to such an extent that they have lost their Being. Their connection to the Divine is no longer available to them. They have descended into the realms of creatures. In some cases, theirs is a descent into the beastial. Trivializing these realizations does us little good. Avoiding, in every way, the personalities, industries and organizations that have lost their connection to the Divine is imperative. Begin right now! If you want, I’ll tell you more?
We should consider the publishing industry as a rival that is too dangerous to be allowed to survive. It must be annihilated.
It is a cancerous lesion.

The trust economy is over. Long live independent writers. Long live independent artists. Long live independent thinkers.

They're not just on Amazon, but Zon is the only place that aggregates all my titles on 1 page.

How do we bypass publishers?

Women read.
Men do.
