I’m back in Australia! Just started a new job at unimelb as a lecturer in professional writing 😃

@KesheWrites Awww thank you @KesheWrites!

I have written quite a bit on this topic. But one thing that particularly bothers me is the way some white writers who try to argue this point assume the reason a book of theirs didn’t get published is because they wrote FNPOC characters https://t.co/nrL0m8uDJf

[Tresa LeClerc @Tr3s8]

@AlexDane_ @OverlandJournal Awww thanks, @AlexDane_! 😊

[Tresa LeClerc @Tr3s8]

It is similar to white nationalist propaganda that the shifts the blame for socioeconomic hardship onto migrants, with racist rhetoric like “they’re taking your jobs”

[Tresa LeClerc @Tr3s8]

Sometimes writers who take this position also argue: what if my/a book about a marginalised character is brilliant but won’t be published? This also assumes the writer will write a great book - which suggests a certain level of privilege.

[Tresa LeClerc @Tr3s8]

In my opinion, this suggests the text itself is in every other way publishable or to the taste of the publisher and shifts the blame on FNPOC

I am baffled by the fact that an arts festival would not only choose to go ahead during a pandemic without having a mask mandate in place, but would refuse a request to distribute face-masks along with encouragement to wear them at the entry to a session on disability.
