Topic: Becoming a Canadian publishing professional
Use the #DiverseCanLit tag to follow along on Twitter (or TweetChat). Last week we talked about poetry and how it can be more inclusive. This week we’ll talk about the path to becoming a Canadian publishing professional and the obstacles that keep the industry from being more diverse. Below are a few of the questions we may discuss:
- What are the pathways to becoming a publishing professional?
- Are there obstacles on those pathways that hinder people from marginalized groups?
- What can organizations in the publishing industry do to counter these obstacles?
- What can current publishing professionals do to help
