It’s #ReadPalestine Week! 🇵🇸📚

Poignant, beautiful and powerful words from susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى on the illegal occupation of Palestine and the genocide being committed.

Reminded how I was being told by (white) publishing folk already in 2018 that “diversity as a trend is over.” There was never any commitment to change from publishing. Why would there be? Short🧵

Heartbreaking news, the bold, brilliant and inspiring Alex Wheatle has left this world. He paved the way for so many authors of colour and was an inspiration in the industry. May he rest in peace and power. #inclusivebooks #representationmatters
