Thankfully existing only in SMALL pockets within our discipline, is intellectual snobbery. Its a hushed but ugly truth that people are made to feel not worthy to be among a certain set didnt attend the right school or dont have the requisite abbreviations to follow their name. I know what that feels like. Good thing I'm pigheaded, have a bigger vision and committed to my craft, or I wouldve succumbed to it long ago. That is why when I meet an emerging writer whos serious about developing their craft, I try to encourage them as much as I can. I say IGNORE the highbrow cliques and prove your mettle by growing, accepting balanced feedback and most of all, creating work that will stand the test of time. Period.
