Literary Agent Fired for Using Gab and Parler: A Former Publishing Insider Perspective
Channel: The Eighth Square
Date: 05/02/2021

I give my perspective as a former publishing industry insider on a story that hits close to home for me -- a woman being fired from a literary agency for having profiles on Gab and Parler (where she posted the same content as on Twitter). This was exactly what I feared would happen to me when I still worked in publishing but was going on my intellectual journey away from feminism and the left. The publishing industry is not a place that encourages free thinking or diversity of opinion. In the children's / YA and sci-fi / fantasy spaces, the atmosphere is downright chilling. They are hunting wrongthinkers. If this is news to you, let this be your introduction.
