from the contest rules for the More Than Magic contest hosted by Romance Writers Ink Chapter of RWA
It’s taken me several days to be able to write this blog post, and the worst part of it is that my job isn’t done with this. As president of the Rainbow Romance Writers, RWA’s chapter for LGBT chapter, it’s my job to address the situation.
Discrimination is discrimination. RWA and RWI should be ashamed. Please write to RWI’s contest coordinator (jackie.rwimagic@netscape.com). Please write to RWA at info@rwa.org . Urge them not to discriminate against same-sex entries in contests; to change their policies and not to discriminate.
Wow, very not cool Thanks for sharing this with us Avery!
Email to both RWA and RWI sent!
