I understand they are not hiring us, or I would have already filed a complaint with the EEOC. In fact, we are creating an agency relationship, not a business partnership. I am simply shocked that anyone would ever announce that they are only considering a business partner based on race. I certainly would never seek an agent or business partner based on his/her race.
How do you know that most people in the industry support race-based discrimination?
And I don't understand what you mean by suggesting I look elsewhere? Why?
"Submissions
From 9/1/20 – 12/31/20 I’m open to queries from BIPOC writers and illustrators only – I’m looking forward to reading your work. I only accept queries through this link"
What if I would only hire BIPOC waiters or cooks in my restaurant? How does this not violate the EEOC?
I assume because we are not employees, but developing a contractual agreement, BUT would this be legal if I were hiring someone to advertise the restaurant? To POST that I am selecting based on RACE?
And why isn't anyone calling out the industry for this behavior?

"interesting and original but....not a perfect fit...." Thought it was somewhat personalized as I had a referral but looks like it's the form rejection. Stings.
Upwards and onwards.

Found it interesting and original but...
Looks like interesting and original is a type of form rejection she uses.

Nice and quick, like ripping off a band aid. This was a long shot because she's only accepting a special genre but I thought I'd try anyway.
(Major revision of a ms. she requested a full of a few years ago then declined.)
