someone wants to do this, contact us @PocPub. We're just here. Waiting for director-level professionals to care vs. just sending us their job listings in hope we find a poc, which we usually do bc there are SO MANY highly-qualified people of color wanting to work w book.
@PocPub between us, @PocPub, @LatinxinPub, @diversebooks who has a FANTASTIC FUNDED internship program... we've got the people who want the jobs. put us together in a room and can come up with this program bc all of us are already doing so many mentorship programs (AS VOLUNTEERS)
@PocPub @LatinxinPub @diversebooks thats the funniest part, most of us arent getting paid for this. poc in pub has gotten over 40 ppl jobs... i know WNDB has helped a ton of people. latinx in publishing does a lot w recruitment to so... we are literally right here
@PocPub @LatinxinPub @diversebooks like im super tired of imprints etc. being like what if we sponsored x panel... like no have been running professional development panels on our own since 2016. we have several programs happening this year + our mentorship program as does @LatinxinPub
we dont need panels sponsored, we need you who have the power to actually change things to let us in to come up with a program to actually make a long term difference. i dont want to be shouting about this in 10 years like people were 10, 20, 30 years ago.
Like, if white media people w platforms really care, you can help us amplify what we're doing. There has been A LOT of reporting on the state of the book publishing industry. It's just not in a major way, or sustained. You can also spend more time shouting about poc books.
there is also representation matters which @kendralevin + @joannananamc did. and it has gotten so many ppl positions. like my own mentee got a great job in editorial bc of it and she previously didnt think she could. just saying... so many ppl doing this work who care!!
