"Hannah Westland, publisher of the literary imprint Serpent's Tail, says she's not always confident that there's a market for fiction written by young men. "If a really good novel by a male writer lands on my desk, I do genuinely say to myself, this will be more difficult to publish." She believes that the "paths to success" are narrower because there are fewer prizes open to men, fewer magazines that will cover male authors, and fewer media figures willing to champion them – in the way that, for example, Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes have championed female authors on their podcasts."
i challenge even one dramafoid to name a single good compelling male character written by a woman 30 and younger, written within the timespan of 1995-2024

Why the misogyny? It's men's own fault they don't read books so women could be able to take over the market. It's typical !moidmoment to blame women for what men caused to themselves.

The problem is we read shit like WoT while women read a 200 page romance slop book

If the 200 page romance slop book does better, then that's what the market wants, it's simple capitalism.

Nah the publishing industry has been captured by rich white women and the awards have been taken over by the same. If anything its a warning against central planning and monopolies the twin headed enemies of free market capitalism.

No, it's simply because women read way more books than men.

Lol they refuse to let men write books for men then point out that no men buy books. That's hilarious.

There are already so many books written by men for men that you can't read all of it in one lifetime. So your point is moot.

My mom is dealing with this problem, mainly because she's an educated Latinx who isn't super pro immigration/lgbt. She's pretty disgusted by how the mainstream players act.

What's amazing about capitalism is that there's so much wealth that all the unpopular books tend to be available, too. Seething about capitalism because something else is popular when what you prefer is abundant and cheap is
