The prejudice is still there, but it's breaking down. You have writers like Michael Chabon and The Yiddish Policemen's Union. He's a writer who's determined to break down genre barriers. He's done amazing things.

How do you fight someone if you can't hit them?
George R. R. Martin
An artist has an obligation to tell the truth. [...] that the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves. We are the monsters. (And the heroes too). Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil.
George R. R. Martin
His dagger was out, poised at her throat. “Sing, little bird. Sing for your little life.

Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow. Tyrion smiled. Lord Varys, I am growing strangely fond of you. I may kill you yet, but I think I'd feel sad about it. I will take that as high praise.

We look up at the same stars and see such different things. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.

I would also suggest that any aspiring writer begin with short stories. These days, I meet far too many young writers who try to start off with a novel right off, or a trilogy, or even a nine-book series. That's like starting in at rock climbing by tackling Mt. Everest. Short stories help you learn your craft.
