    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the #PublishingPaidMe created by African American author L. L. McKinney. Topics include McKinney's description of the hashtag as an outgrowth of a conversation she has had with friends about Black authors being historically underpaid and underappreciated by a white publishing industry, a Google doc created from the hashtag, and views of some literary agents, authors and editors on whether the hashtag revealed an inequity in the industry.
