submission deal breakers
We reject any trace of collectivist, woke, or ideological-determinist poison.
Below are four deal breakers, each with a real-world example that would get your submission instantly rejected.
1. Groupthink (woke, trad, or otherwise)
Example:
“As a member of [protected class], I speak for the community’s pain.”
Why it’s rejected: You’re not an individual—you’re a tribal delegate. We don’t publish ambassadors.
2. Victim Scripts
Example:
“My trauma from systemic oppression shaped this memoir.”
Why it’s rejected: You’re blaming structures, not owning choices. We publish agency, not excuses.
3. Virtue Signals
Example:
“This book includes diverse characters to promote inclusivity.”
Why it’s rejected: You’re checking boxes, not telling truth. Inclusion as marketing = collectivist sleight-of-hand.
4. Determinism
Example:
“Men are wired for violence; women are natural nurturers.”
Why it’s rejected: You’re peddling biological or historical fate. Sovereign minds reject predestined roles.
One strike = rejection.
No second chances. No edits.
Submit clean, or don’t submit.
