Yay, Mia!

Reviewers: 4% Black. These are the people who keep the publishing industry in check by celebrating the great books and calling out the not-so-great ones.

[Lee & Low Books @LEEandLOW]

Marketing + Publicity: 4% Black. These are the people who decide which books get promoted and how. Their work is how readers discover books.

[Lee & Low Books @LEEandLOW]

Editorial: 1% Black. ONE PERCENT. That number speaks for itself.

[Lee & Low Books @LEEandLOW]

Literary agents: 4% Black. This is the first--and in many ways, most important--group of gatekeepers for anyone who wants to be published.

🥰 Leah!!!

[Leah Pierre (is barely here) @leahbene]

Proud to be in that 4%! But even still it was only because of organizations such as @PocPub, @repmattersco,
@diversebooks, and @TesseraEdits. And all the wonderful publishing professionals who took time out of their days to do info interviews with me!

As #PrideMonth ends, we're sending love to our LGBTQIA+ family & reminding all that our efforts to create safe spaces for community members should persist year-round! @ the #Publishing industry: support & uplift LGBTQIA+ stories, authors, editors, readers, etc. Happy Pride!

[Tessera Editorial @TesseraEdits]
