Championing BIPOC and marginalized voices. Building a list that reflects the world

I’m committed to building a list that reflects the world we live in — one that is rich, diverse, and full of stories that deserve to be heard. I’m especially passionate about representing authors from marginalized communities, particularly BIPOC writers, and helping their voices shine in an industry that too often makes it harder for them to do so. My goal is to champion work that challenges, uplifts, and broadens the landscape of publishing.
