Diversity problem?  Nonsense!  Just look how many succesful Speculative Fiction authors are female: Andrea Norton, Susan Cooper, Connie Willis, Ursula Le Guin, Julian May, Nancy Kress, Octavia Butler (black, as well as female) and dare I say it, J.K. Rowling - all off the top of my head.<p>Then there are well known award-winnning gay authors such as David Gerrold.<p>And I&#x27;ve just finished reading last year&#x27;s Hugo Award winning novel &quot;The Three Body Problem&quot; written by Cixin Liu, a Chinese SF author.<p>If anything, SF is the field of fiction which has the least problems with &quot;diversity&quot; - its readers are open-minded almost by definition!
