Per Twitter profile, on permanent hiatus. Will only accept queries from BIPOC authors going forward. (2/22/22)

@EMimimi No, it doesn't. She explained this choice in detail on Twitter. "In light of these recent diversity reports and taking a long hard look at my list and where I fit in the publishing industry, I've decided I will be indefinitely closed to general submissions except for projects by BIPOC creators. The reason why I am specifying BIPOC creators is not because I think other marginalized identities such as white LGBTQ+, or white neurodiversity, etc aren't important, but because at this point in time I feel that BIPOC have the most inequality in Publishing." "I want to be selective about who I'm making time for and who I'm uplifting. I've made mistakes. I've been part of a broken system. I need to be more conscious about my actions, in addition to providing mentorships and monetary contributions to key organizations."

"To the writers out there who had hoped to query me, but now can't because of this specification, I invite you to reach out to the many other agents out there. There are numerous resources and available options for you. Thank you for understanding." (https://twitter.com/AgentThao/status/1276648549757808641?s=20&t=BdtOfj5v9OkREw4SPv4D6Q)

@EMimimi
BIPOC authors are being systematically disadvantaged at every level of publishing, which is why several agents are making them a priority. They're actively making the industry better by somewhat levelling the querying playing field. I, for one, commend them for it.

She's only open to queries from BIPOC authors...? Hmmm doesn't this discriminate against other authors...?
