Latinx in Publishing stands with the creators of the #DignidadLiteraria movement and their call for change in the publishing industry.
As Latinx professionals in publishing, we believe we have the right to tell our own stories, and we believe in the power of literature to shape the story of Latinidad in the United States.
We are thrilled to see Macmillan commit to making substantial changes after their meeting with Dignidad Literaria leaders on February 3rd. We hope that these changes will include hiring more Latinxs across departments, from editorial to marketing to sales, and recruiting Latinxs to serve in management positions.
