Why Inexperienced Writers Gain More Attention
I came across a story that talked about how inferior writers are given more attention than established writers. And how publishers would reject great manuscripts from good writers but clamour around people who can’t explain what their title is about.
If there’s anyone who understands the pain of giving your best while you are not given the same opportunity as others, it’s me. I have to work twice or thrice if I want the opportunity someone from a certain national has. And this is not even about medium. I can’t view certain websites or apply for some jobs cos I’m from Nigeria. If I manage to get an interview and I’m being asked about my location, best believe that’s the end. It doesn’t matter how good I am.
So I get why an experienced writer with two to three books under his belt will be mad that a social media influencer whose whole platform is centred around a buzzword they can’t even define.
