NEW YORK TIMES?! 🥳🎉
Haven’t been this chuffed since my rice crispy cakes got a mention in the school newsletter 🤣
Thank you, @BellaKwai for the brilliant interview & kind words! 🙏🏽
I really wanted every child (11-16) to open this book and feel like it was written for them regardless of their background, their home environment, the colour of their skin, their gender, their religion. This was the absolute priority and I’m really proud of what we’ve achieved
So excited to share this project which @hopeisreading and I have been working on with @BlackBalladUK@JENDELLA@IamTobiOredein! Tune into the #VintageBooksPodcast to hear the incredible author @DianaEvansOP talking about ‘home’, the canon, and her writing. ✨✨
Thinking about a career in publishing but not sure where to begin? We’re partnering with @_CreativeAccess to offer 150 mentorships to young people from communities under-represented in our industry. No degree or prior experience needed! https://t.co/1worqdiNaD #mentor#publishing
To mark Black History Month, we have the great pleasure of having four of @dialoguebooks' authors – Paul Mendez, @NzeluWrites, @britrbennett and @IrenosenOkojie recommend some fantastic reads by Black writers: https://t.co/u1ADA0xAV3
