it's the COMMUNITY that bridges this gap, not an ai-chat bot leeching resources from marginalized groups so siobhan cole can get a foothole on publishing that she feels entitled to.

authortubers sharing their publishing journeys, the entirety of the pubtips reddit page, authors opening up their inboxes to any and all questions, agents offering AMA's about the industry

furthermore, ai is not some magical key to closing the accessibility gap in publishing. it's the authors who look at people's submission packages for free, professional editors writing threads and making videos about improving your manuscript.

why are you letting a white, cis-woman have this conversation about equity and diversity around ai? because she's "neurodivergent"?

this article is out of touch, poorly researched, and overall just incredibly telling of the entitlement some people feel towards the publishing industry. it's NEVER been enough to just write a book.

Snippet from today!
