If you are an underrepresented writer, I REALLY encourage you to apply for ELEVATE. I worked with an incredible writer whose story deserves to be told and I'm over the moon with her progress through the mentoring. This could be you ✨

We at @dialoguebooks are shocked and saddened to hear the Government’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities have reported there is ‘no evidence of institutional racism’ in Britain.

In response, we wanted to show why Britain is not an exemplar of racial equality. A THREAD.
