SFWA is slow. RWA (Romance Writers of American) made a similar announcement in late 2020. Recently they got their panties in a twist because one of their members refused to update an older novel to agree with current wokeness standards. They encourage writers to hire special editors to make sure skin tones, eye colors. and hair colors aren’t described as food (chocolate, vanilla, beet red, etc). Luckily, not all romance writers or SFWA writers are members of those organizations.

Asking writers to bowdlerize their own work? How enlightened. 🙄

Publishers hire "sensitivity readers" to enforce political correctness.
