Yes! POC writers are super important, yet there isn't as much talk about more POC in publishing (i.e., agents). We need them on both sides.
Publishers, hire more POC.

I've seen the occasional literary agency requiring exclusivity if they request your manuscript. Unless they gave you an R&R and asked for it temporarily, that's dumb. Writers, ignore that.

This is why I'm so appreciative of the clients who are with me--We're taking a chance on each other, which is so key as we talk about diversity in the industry. We need to support agents, editors, etc. of color for there to be lasting change.
I really feel like telling the truth today, but I’m on a much needed time away from the office so...
Look at the big splashy $$$$ diverse deals by authors of color. Look at the other pictures next to the writer and/or illustrators, the editors’ and agents’ names attached.
