Asked a white dude who does a whole bunch of anthologies directly why there was only one woman in a major horror tie angho he was in charge of and he told me women didn& #39;t sell enough to warrant the invitation outside of the single (white passing) woman present.

Since then, a friend has told me this same guy tried to quid pro quo her--featuring her work if she& #39;d just let him flirt with her.

Situation A is almost always followed by Situation B, fyi.

I& #39;m guessing I& #39;ll never make it onto this guy& #39;s roster for having the audacity to directly ask. In a private message, but y& #39;all really can& #39;t stand even the hint you can do better.

(Incidentally, the causation of lower sales in trad pub horror for women is because of rampant misogyny.

Chicken.

Egg.)

(Can& #39;t name names, victim keeping it private because the power differential is enormous. That said, what you can do with this info is push back on ToCs that don& #39;t look right.) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz">
