I expected to love this piece. Writing IS a 'professional' trade that lacks working class voices. I wish this article was actually about that. Instead, the author pays lip-service to class, with income not being mentioned at all, and chose instead to focus on race/sex - the traits assigned to us at birth - as the voices that need to be elevated. Not people from diverse economic backgrounds, oh no - we need to focus on making sure the professional writers *look* different from each other! Embarrassing, and misleading. Hard pass.
