Any discussion, especially with one with depth, can only help writers.
The more we learn about our world and our place in it, the better we become
at our craft.

For a group that talks about equal rights they are blind to what that
actually means. Atty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miss Thea"

reminds me of a workshop I attended years ago with an agent named Joan
Timberlake, who supports LGBT authors. I wrote a piece about it and
submitted it to Slate
&
Style, but I don't think it was ever published. It's been so long that I
have no idea what she's up to now, but I liked
her.

Subject: [stylist] gay protag Hi there, Some agents might be very in to it
and there are also GBLT friendly publishers also. Don't give up on it just
cause he or she is gay! Timing is everything. There is a huge movement
around same sex couples getting rights, and though there are still people
who discriminate our society is evolving to higher thinking all the time.
There is a nitch for it and if you search out some of the publishers that
accept lesbian and gay lit, some of them don't even require agents. Write
on, Atty ----- Original Message ----- From:
