  • I feel for the editor and Seal Press.

    Saying "We don't get many proposals from WOC" is perfectly legit if that is, in fact, the case. I don't understand the "servitude" comment at all. Submitting a proposal = servitude?

    I don't think many book editors beat the bushes looking for people who might want to send them a book.

It strikes me as a tough job, and I think the editor was well within her rights in defending herself and her press.
