Hugely important, thorough, well sourced investigation from @slowhoneybee: The publishing industry is turning against Jewish writers and Jewish stories. Publishers Against the People of the Book washingtonexaminer.com/politics/publi…
A few notes:
--These are established writers and poets, not novices.
--Agents and publishers acknowledge the quality of the work hasn't dropped.
--Israel is only part of this: Holocaust books have the easiest path b/c as Dara Horn says, People Love Dead Jews (or weak Jews)

As one notes, they want the Holocaust or 'Tevye the Milkman.' They want Jew-as-victim. The Holocaust, especially, still (at least for now!) avoids a woke backlash.
Stephen King befriended the writer Hesh Kestin and blurbs his books--until the woke mob got a Kestin book canceled right at the launch. King turned his back on his friend and his principles, too afraid of the mob himself.
Stephen King's cowardice is a good example of the phenomenon itself: there is no 'official policy' of course, but the culture is real enough that it scares the Scary Books Man himself. Maybe he ought to write a book about it.
That the progressive mob would come for Jewish literature should be no surprise to anyone paying attention. But now we know it's happening, and even those who weren't paying attention ought to start.
Strongly encourage you to read the whole thing, with all the authors on the record. The attempt to suffocate Jewish culture is making gains by creating a climate of fear for anyone seen as too supportive of the Jewish community.
