[quote=shan1212][quote=Anonymous]We need to reach out to GrubStreet en masse and tell them this is not OK that they still have Sonya Larson, Allison Murphy, and Christopher Castellani still on their staff.

They need to be suspended until a thorough investigation is done.

Yeah, I was unimpressed by their "we are appalled by the disconnect between GrubStreet’s stated values and the alleged behavior by some that has come to light" statement. It sounds like this mysterious disconnect conjured itself. And their "executive board," which includes Jennifer De Leon, is in charge of deciding next steps?

They only have 26 people on staff, and three of them are Sonya Larson, Chris Castellani, and Alison Murphy. And then Celeste Ng is on their literary council.

I saw a really good point on Twitter . . . would you ever counsel a friend to shoot themselves in the foot this way? Especially Ng seems so sure that her name carries special protective powers or something. I'm sure Larson has such a laughable lawyer because she doesn't want to pay big bucks for a savvy one. It's fine to rally around someone in an interpersonal drama, but to encourage them to go down with the ship when it comes to lawyer's fees and then your professional reputation? What kind of friends are those? I really hate when people try to diagnose strangers, but that's what I would call the narcissism in this story . . . letting ego drive all your decisions and advice, rather than considering the costs even if you win.[/quote]
