Nobody who makes these sorts of critiques knows the first thing about economics.

If you believe that these publishing industries are leaving money on the table by rejecting great writers who are commercially viable purely because they are white men, then YOU should start your own publishing company and scoop up all this talent that is irrationally going to waste.

You will make yourself a rich white man, instead of just an angry one.

There is a huge gap in the market by not selling to men. Can writers and publishers somehow not make their product appealing enough so that men will buy their product???
Companies exist to make money so why not jump onto that instead of trying to make a buck on an insanely oversaturated market.

The gap is filled by a few very important customers like Larry Fink. Because he and other huge hedge fund managers have a greater purchasing power than the entire consumer market several times over, it's more profitable in the short-run to publish stories for them than to publish stories for real people.

Again, you have no idea how economics works.

If you think these white male writers are not commercially viable AND at the same time you believe that the publishing companies should publish them ANYWAY, then what you're asking is that these companies LOSE MONEY to publish these white men for..... some reason.

Well, that's okay if you want that, but don't expect it to happen. People aren't in the habit of giving away money to random people, especially not white people who can just get a comfortable job somewhere else.

The thing is that publishers aren't putting out as many books as they used to. They need as much traction as they can get.

Take 10 books.

9 of those books probably sell 100 units at $20 and it takes $5000 to print and edit. Then a few free to reviewers. These are sold at a loss.

1 book is a hit and sells 10k units (still VERY LITTLE) at $20 and makes $200k. That single book carries the company. All are hoping to score a million seller. One million seller book keeps the company afloat for at least another year.

I disagree. Boys are starting to read more fiction (there's a trend due to male influencers trying to better themselves, and part of that is reading). But they're not reading new fiction right now, they're reading classics. This is going to take another 10 years or so after they burn through the classics, and demand new books that cater to them.

Publishers need to start gearing up to a bunch of pseudo intellectual boys wanting to read. They only can consume so much isekai, manga, and other easy reads

Prestige publishing is captured and fishing for agitprop friendly content. Which isn't to say you can't or won't get a foot in the door, it's just that what was always a long shot has additional gatekeeping layers less present last century.

With On Demand and the internet and social media, there's no reason not to be your own marketing. It's not unheard of to get picked up just for that built in impressions machine-- publisher's idea of marketing has long been defective and low effort.

the gatekeepers are literary agents, who are delusional fart sniffing blue hairs. yes indeed they have no business sense--if they knew a dollar when they smelled one, they wouldn't have become a literary agent. if you had accountants working as literary agents your post would have a point, but we don't live in that world.

this is what i've been saying. they incessantly market to the same dwindling, tapped-out market of hyper-readers chasing diminishing returns instead of publishing books that would appeal to the segments of the population NOT currently buying books. the publishing world has no fucking grasp of marketing. all these dumb bored fucks sitting around jacking it to instagram whores are unconverted customers.

i know that jaquelynne has been the heart of the market for two decades but she can only read so many fucking books before her eyeballs fall out. try publishing something that can compete with doomscrolling twitter to get jack's dollars out of his pocket. it isn't that fucking hard--harry potter and game of thrones made him bite. how about some books for the rest of the population who don't make spending 10% of their paycheck at trendy bookstores with an in-house coffee shop their personality?

If that's the case I'll have to query indie publishers. Apparently many of them accept direct queries without agent. God preserve me, if you read as many agent profiles as I have you'd think every agent in the world wants the same fucking book about a persnicketty feminist defying cottage-core-age close-mindedness getting dicked by a Duke while professing to be a gay cat-mom from Maryland who likes horses and baking. That, or books about bipoclbgtqftwljdlghldhglks+++ from a brown author.

What leaves me bothered is there is no logistics to sell or even market indie books. social media marketing, the trend du jour, centers around a handful of things which go viral. there's no diversity of thought on a social media platform. people can't buy what they don't know exists and there's no way to filter books by tag. the closest thing we have to a book database is goodreads which is a bland pile of corporate jeetcode. if there's one good thing about AO3 and the fanfiction space, they've innovated methods for people to find their niche little obsessions expediently with the tag system. if indie publishing is to thrive it needs ways to connect with consumers who want to buy their niche products and we don't have a method to serve that need.

This is unfortunate, but not surprising to anyone paying attention. Women buy 80% of the books and are 74% of employees in the publishing industry compared to men's 23%. So, yes, there's a bias against men, particularly straight men, white or otherwise, in the industry. But the fact that boys/men are involved in the industry less and purchasing fewer and fewer books is driving the divide. Manga outselling books and the success of Royal Road shows boys & men will read and even financially support stories that appeal to them. The top authors on there are making thousands a month off patreon alone, but tapping into that market seems beyond most publishers. They've already been losing relevance since Amazon came onto the scene. If they can't evolve, they'll be fazed out. Simple as that.

Your mistake is believing that markets dictate what companies do. The United States and the world are not bottom-up free markets. Choice is an illusion to make you content. The truth is that major corporations coerce you to buy what they want you to buy through social pressure campaigns and strategic elimination of competing products. The rich dictate what is allowed on the market and the consumers buy it because it is the only option.

It’s so funny when midwits like you invoke “basic economics”. Not only does economic theory not apply, you don’t even actually know economic theory. And to give you an example that illustrates how wrong you are. Every R1 university in the United States subsidized dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of programs and departments which operate at a net loss every year and many of those colleges and universities operate at a net loss. It does not cease their operations and it doesn’t stop them from doing what they’re doing. If your “basic economics” were remotely an accurate picture of reality, this should not be possible.

You have the business sense and naivete of a child. You think we live in a meritocracy? You think that if a good book just exists somewhere on the internet it will magically find success? The publishing industry is an incestuous ponzi scheme. It's the story of the emperor with no clothes.

There are just 5 major publishers in the US and they account for 77% of all paperback sales. This is because they have a monopoly on retail stores: all the Barnes and Nobles, all the Walmarts, all the airport book stores. Five publishers own all these shelf spaces. If you self publish your book will NEVER be sold in these locations. Never. Normies only buy what's in front of them. They will never go on amazon and dig through 20,000 pages of self published crap to look for a diamond in the rough, but they will pick up something with a half decent cover in the checkout line while buying a Redbull. That's how books sell. That's why book stores have Starbucks in them now.

Publishing industries are not "leaving money on the table" by ignoring good works. They are buring good works because they can generate money out of shit. The CEO of Random House has a neice that wants to publish a book? Done. Quality does not matter. Put them on a nomination for a Hugo Award (for marketing purposes, not actual merit) and stuff their book in every store. Handbook for Mortals got 1,000,000 tiktok views? Publish it. Quality does not matter.

Start your own publishing house? That shit is easy. Putting your book on retail shelf space? That shit is hard. Selling online? Name five independent publishers. Go ahead and look at the books in your house and tell me how many you own from a small press. I'll wait.

What’s the “funny” part? That the vast majority of these women are former WASP/atheists? Or are you making the assertion that Jews (particularly women) control publishing and they’re gatekeeping people like yourself from making breakthroughs? If they are indeed ‘Jews’ then they’re more keen on publishing material that sells rather than empty virtue signaling. Jews don’t run businesses that place profit lower than arbitrary social trends, if you don’t sell they don’t publish, it’s a simple pragmatism that somehow evades /pol/tards when they construct feeble oppression narratives.
So no it’s not funny because that data wouldn’t support your flawed perceptions of publishing regardless, unless your shallow worldview is the joke? The issue you have is that you don’t write anything worth paying for and that your target demo doesn’t buy books.

Ehhh... I don't think this is the case. People like King and Sanderson have this market cornered. The real beef is in the margins. 100% of all passion funded critical darling books are woke trash now. These books were never going to sell an insane amount but they were going to tickle a few minds and make a return back to society in 5-10 years. It's a bit analogous to crop rotation. If you keep growing a cash crop without pivoting or resting you deplete all the nutrients in the soil. Woke shit is a certain kind of nutrient but if you're excluding its competitors you are going to end up with a substrate where nothing grows.

Human creativity is a series of mirrors. It's mimicry and replication all the way down. You need strong inspiring examples at the top appreciated by the few to then pass through the hands of charlatans who flanderize the idea for mass appeal. The publishing industry got its roles mixed up and pushed the "nutrient" class as the commercial class. Now there is nothing to riff off of because there is homogenization of the field.

So is independent publishing worthwhile? I've checked a few out for my genre and I'm certainly not worse than the people they've put on and found some comps. Google says to expect a $3k advance or larger. The books they have up get like, 1500-3k sales on amazon. It feels like settling though, I've been aiming for the tradpub trophy.

I've got about 150 agent rejections (multiple novels.) Kinda getting fed up wtih it. They're looking for a very certain flavor I'm not about because I won't do family saga or chick-lit.

The male writers in the west are simply not allowed to make an income off writing dissenting material. The only people allowed to spread their message and profit from it are serving the establishment. I never even see on /lit/ anyone talking about books that challenge the 2023 paradigm of what to expect from modern life? In less than 20 years, we went from a society with many individuals with many different opinions to a conformist society being replaced by foreigners while foreigners also control our cultural flow. Here in Canada, all of the culture is disseminated through the phone and computer. There is next to nothing organic outside of crackhead and the little redneck culture we have left.

If the mentality of an industry i was in was we need more straight white men and less non straight white men, it would be safe to assume i probably mostly look for and try to hire straight white men. However, for some reason when it's flipped no one seems to realize what that implies. They're either naive, stupid, or don't care. They have quotas and hiring initiatives for non Europeans and women in most industries. Are we really supposed to believe that some people in these positions who this way and are in the exact place to make that a reality are somehow less biased then the White men they claimed were gatekeeping the industry? That's retarded. You can legally discriminate against Europeans and men in the hiring process. You can argue that's it's acceptable, but you can't say it's not discrimination. This shit is literal newspeak and i can't stand people who pretend they don't know what anyone is talking about when it comes up. They're either dense, disingenuous, or afraid to talk about it.

Men buy books and read them. But it depends on the kind of book. When it comes to business books, books on sports, books on weight lifting, PUA books, history, investing, military thrillers, right-wing nationalist stuff, etc, men are happy to buy copies. You think blue-haired lesbian feminists read Tom Clancy?
The problem is that media gatekeepers like the NYT Book Review and NPR, and left-leaning feminista the Academies spit out to fill publishing agent slots, give all the attention, publicity and praise to minority shit. If it's gay, feminist, Jewish, non-white or ideally anti-white, it's trumpeted everywhere; and if it isn't, it's not mentioned. That doesn't mean that what's not mentioned doesn't sell. Mein Kampf has sold way more copies than Ibram X. Kendi.

There really is just not that much of a reason to read or write a book, outside of the Bible. The most successful authors are just writing thinly veiled screenplays. Reading and writing is really more of a lifestyle brand these days, and women are really susceptible to marketing, and women buy like 90% of books.

So yeah I don't know that its a big conspiracy. I would be more willing to believe it the other way around. Like there are all these men writing books? Like what? What for? Men should write epic poetry, songs, poetry, oral story telling. Not fucking.. books.

The key is to make a book that appeals to women. Based authors writers should just frame stories from a woman's pov. Look at 13 Shades of Grey.

We can't even advocate for our own interests without someone accusing us (often times another White person) of being an evil White supremacist. The only acceptable figures in European history are those who sacrificed for others, not their own people, other people, non Europeans. You're literally the self hating pussy, assuming you're not non European. It's full scale demoralization and the anti European rhetoric especially regarding the US makes zero sense. The US being some evil White supremacist state falls apart under their own logic unless there was some subversion. Weirdly enough the rhetoric ramped up after WW2.

I noticed this as well here in the US. The US in the 2000s before and after 9/11 was completely different. It still felt like it had some buffer zone between what is foreign and what is American. Now i can't tell the difference. Even just the landscape of politics is completely different. I'll pick a random year, 2003. In the 2003, you had White Americans, Black Americans, a small amount of natives, and a growing contingent of Hispanics. Hispanics were the largest community you would go into and be surrounded by Spanish and latin American culture while still being in the US. Everyone else was a small minority, now it's like every single immigrant's group has larger areas.

There's a lot of different people, languages, and cultures all coming together. They carry with them all the baggage from their home countries. Pakistanis and Indians for example. You have loud contingents of people advocating for their own shit that relates to their own conflicts meanwhile Americans that were already here are still arguing over the American Civil War. It's schizophrenic. They're so detached from our problems and show up with their own from halfway across the world. It's crazy that i'm supposed to view some fob as the same amount of American as me, a random black guy descended from slaves, and a native. Exception to hispanics from Mexico because of our history and some Chinese people. Natives were already here, and many whites and blacks are descended from people who were here before and during the founding. People complain about the US being White and Black, unfortunately Natives are a smaller minority, but it's because of our history. If you're not Native (to a lesser extent unfortunately), White, or Black, you're just not going to be the main voice of the US. It makes sense if you also realize Natives got displaced, so it logically follows that after White people Blacks would be considered Americans first and foremost.

>Writing is dead because the algorithm and big tech work together to top-down the culture, nothing is allowed to bubble up. We are too globohomo'ed and atomized to form any cultural resistance anymore.
Very true but we do have the ability to do so. Putting your words in front of eyes is easier than ever even if outside traditional publishing. The issue is that it is not very monetizable. Once we stop making everyone do some shitty job that saps your soul, time, and energy just to afford to live then maybe you'll see people start writing and reading in their free time.

>The male writers in the west are simply not allowed to make an income off writing dissenting material.
There's like a thousand right wing grifters who are making money hand over fist. The truth is that the establishment is not left or right it exists to secure the existence of the powerful. Currently, the allowable "left" and "right" views are brawling it out for the title of king of the shitpile. Nobody is actually intelligent enough to truly dissent anymore because the control apparatuses have become so much more sophisticated. Eventually, no matter who wins, our quality of life will continue to decrease for reasons that are unfathomable to any modern acceptable political position. When that happens people will start to get smarter and actually be able to dissent. We're just in a weird cultural moment that will eventually pass.

The pandemic lockdown puts this to rest. Gibs left and right, repayment freezes, no school, no work, nowhere to go, abundant free time for everyone. A UBI advocate's wet dream. What wondrous creations came out of this, what genius works of art, philosophy, science, literature?
Nothing came out of it. People stayed home, watched Netflix and got fat. The typical excuses of "no time, I'm tired, too busy" were stripped away and what was left was the bare nakedness of ugly souls. Turns out it isn't 'shitty jobs' keeping people from exercising, creating and reading, it is the people themselves.

Most of the consumerist market for newer books is women buying romance fantasy books.
Publishers are going to prioritize frumpy femMC goes to magic school and is surprisingly cooler than everyone else over literary fiction because litfic doesn't make money.
Seriously, when was the last time you bought a newer book?
Also the recent winner of the nobel lit prize was a Catholic Norwegian man.
If you want the publishing world to prioritize litfic more, buy more litfic instead of pirating classics all day.

The people are happy to consume modernity(materialism) because it is easy and taught abundantly by their jew masters through school, television, films, professional sports, everywhere. They know nothing else. Catholicism is difficult, it is self sacrificial, you must deny material pleasures so that you may attain salvation.
Which of the two is more appealing to modern people, the judeo satanic path: do what you want whenever you want, indulge in the pleasures of the world.
Or the Catholic path: submit to and obey God by rejecting the pleasures of the world, and do God's will by rejecting your own.

Yes. I’ve done this. Most I’ve made is like 100 bucks across four different graphic novels. Everyone that reads them likes them but marketing without a million-dollar budget is never going to lead to a career. Most money I’ve made was selling stickers of Pokémon I’ve drawn. Made just over $1000 bucks across 6 months in two different hobby shops.

I try to do the same and all it has brought me was being overtaken by sociopaths. What I've learned from that is that if you want to have a career, the sociopaths make you play their game and they're better at it than you. Having friends in the business is near meaningless for a career. On the other hand, IF you succeed you can try to make a change, boost the good ones and foster sane work ethics. I have kinda given up desu, but I don't think it's impossible.
Good luck.
