Today, the Big Five publishers are staffed almost entirely by women. According to the most recent data, more than 70 percent of staffers are women. More than 70 percent of editors are women. Even 70 percent of all interns are women. At the executive level, more than 60 percent of leaders are women. In 2026, American publishing looks like lululemon.
Forget 70 percent. Based on what I’ve seen, it’s more than 90 percent at most of these publishing houses. We have to deal with acquiring rights from time to time for the Library, and I have never once spoken to one single man in discussions with more than 15 different publishing houses.
Which only one reason why you may wish to consider signing up pre-launch for Castalia Unlimited, which will launch in November. It’s less expensive than the other option, the books are much, much better than the My Gay Vampire Billionaire Boyfriend and all the LitRPG novels that are available there, there is no Digital Rights Management, and you actually own all the epubs you choose to download.....
