"Behind Closed Doors" shatters the façade of the publishing industry, laying bare the ruthless power dynamics that determine which voices rise to prominence and which are silenced. This eye-opening exploration reveals the critical role that editors and agents play in shaping not only literary trends but also cultural narratives that affect us all.


Dive into the shocking realities of:



  • The Gatekeeping Process: Unmask the historical and ongoing practices that dictate who gets published and who doesn't, keeping innovative voices locked out of the industry.

  • Diversity and Inclusion: Confront the systemic biases that plague publishing, and discover why it's imperative to amplify marginalized voices in a world hungry for change.

  • The Role of Agents and Editors: Learn about the moral responsibilities that come with gatekeeping and how decisions made behind closed doors can affect entire communities.

  • The Impact of Rejection: Grapple with the emotional fallout of rejection and how it can either crush dreams or fuel a fierce determination to succeed.

  • The Future of Publishing: Explore how self-publishing and digital platforms are disrupting traditional models, empowering authors to reclaim their narratives in a fiercely competitive landscape.


"Behind Closed Doors" is a clarion call for readers, writers, and advocates alike. It's not just a critique of an industry; it's a rallying cry for all those who believe in the power of diverse stories and the necessity of change.
