Had a similar experience when editing for the first time with Burning House Press! If I could do it again, I'd compose my call in a more intentional and targeted way. I see certain outlets consistently make deadline extensions and offer special submission periods for racialized writers so I imagine those tactics work. My sense is, in addition to general encouragement, these sorts of material changes are necessary. And if you judge it to be appropriate, making personal solicitations.
yeah totally! I’ve been thinking a lot about this in relation to any publishing project I’m part of and creating ways for more people to be let into the room. I think about this A LOT while teaching as well.
