are there writers here still trying to break in through traditional publishers?

I came tantalizingly close. Agent at big ny agency, ms out on sub. Fizzled.
The only alternative route I see recommended is 1. get a million twitter followers, 2. self-pub to your audience like BAP
Gotta be a third way, right?

Let's just get this out of the way now, getting to the pristine beaches of the Albanian Riviera is not an easy task. Traveling in Albania can be a tiresome, frustrating and it's always quirky

Been focusing on indie publishers. They are way more communicative. Only got a couple ms requests from agents but got usual “it’s great but not right time.”
Also have a couple tv specs that I’m shopping. Getting staffed as a swm is nearly impossible though.

one thing Ive learned. when you spam agents with queries, jsut do the needful and only contact white men. you will have to include gay men and jewish men.
but you can still find one white man (if gay, if jewish) in almost every agency.
My hit rate on white men has been like 4/50. When I queried based on genre, independent of demographics, my hit rate was like 0/150.

its probably similar to whats happening in movies. there will be a buzz lightyear backstory movie, and there will be a 19th book in the "live laugh love" series and this will continue until the very last dollar is made.
why even fund something new and creative
like everyone above wrote, you have to not only make the movie / book yourself, you have to get a big audience and then carry that to the publisher/distributer, customers already in hand. If there is enough cash ready for deposit, they will hold their nose that it comes from white supremacists.
which means the only ones who break through will indeed by relentless self-promoters with massive salesmen energy. Their "books" could just as easily be vitamin supplements
The misanthropic quiet artist will starve, which may be as nature intended

Yes, recently tried and failed. Sent out about 70 queries for a sci-fi thriller, got 2 requests for more but so far radio silence/rejection. it is schlock, but it is better than what passes for sci-fi schlock nowadays.
If I had to do it again, I would at the very least query under a vaguely ethnic-sounding pen name. you will eventually have to give it up, likely even before publishing, but if the work is good you only need eyes on your pages at the query stage, which you won't get as a white guy

i used to think it's what i wanted to do. with the trannypoz'd media right now, i think it's no hope.
i wrote a couple of spec scripts when younger, and did the project greenlight and several more spec script competitions years back. got very positive responses, but now i have given up, really.
have 5-6 good ideas that i think ppl would like, but no inspiration.

not flame, if enough posters gave me crypto wealth, I would use all of it to found a publishing house not even for "right wing" books and scripts, but with a focus on adult male readers, teenage boys, and middle grade boys.
I would commit to paying myself only 50k per year and using all other funding to employ good agents and building a distribution infrastructure and web presence.
I would name the damn house Exeunt Books or Gatormo or XOXOHTH or whatever anyone wanted.
