Courtney Milan was quietly sanctioned for pointing out another writer’s racism

So much for “happily ever after.” According to Lauren Sarner of the New York Post, it all started when an organization called Romance Writers of America (RWA) suspended former board member Courtney Milan, a best-selling novelist… Support our news coverage by subscribing to our Kindle Nation Daily Digest.

The reason?

Courtney Milan, who is of Chinese-American descent, had Tweeted concerns about a “f - - king racist mess” in the industry, sparking fellow romance novelists Kathryn Lynn Davis and Suzan Tisdale to file formal complaints with the RWA.

Instead of engaging with her comments, the organization punished her for violating its code of ethics with her “negativity,” according to the Wrap.

RWA’s suspension of Milan sparked an outcry on social media, from authors of all stripes.

The hashtag #IStandWithCourney trended, showing support for Milan. NPR critic and author Linda Holmes tweeted, “Welp, if Romancelandia is going to split in two, I’m going to be on the Courtney Milan side,” garnering over 1,000 likes.

Sci-fi author John Scalzi made fun of RWA’s approach of dropping this news on Twitter before the holidays and closing up shop rather than dealing with the fallout.

“So, RWA (apparently rather dubiously) suspended a popular former board member with a large social media presence and then . . . took two days off to let that member and her supporters craft the media narrative it will then have to respond to when it gets back?” he tweeted, along with a shrug emoji.

Priscilla Oliveras, a Latinx author in the genre, told The Post, “I and a number of other members of color resigned from the RWA Board this morning in protest of Courtney’s suspension and our lack of trust in RWA’s leadership.”

Author Alyssa Day also announced her resignation from the organization. “I resigned from RWA,” she tweeted on Christmas Eve. “Allowing racists to weaponize RWA’s Code of Ethics against someone calling out that racism goes against everything a code of ethics stands for, and this result is appallingly and profoundly wrongheaded. I’m done.”

Many authors mocked RWA for thinking they could get away with dropping this news during Christmas and having nobody notice.
