💫 #Repost @adastra_stories ・・・ LATINE-OWNED AND FOUNDED PUBLISHERS TO SUPPORT 📚 In addition to amplifying Latine authors all year long, reading books published by Latine-owned houses is a critical way to support representation in literature. A few weeks back, we discussed publishing’s problematic tendency to prioritize white authors who write Latine characters over Latine authors themselves. Such decisions have harmful consequences that not only echo within the industry, but beyond. We will re-share this post in our Stories, as well as others on the topic. We’ve rounded up a brief list of five Latine-owned and founded publishers working to do just that: increase representation by making more stories visible ➡️ We encourage you to follow these publishers and check out their books from your library or purchase them online. Have you read anything by these publishers before? Are there any on this list you are excited to learn more about? ⬇️ Note: While we use Latine in this post, we are mindful that identifying individual members of the community possess their own preferences. — [ID in comments.] #AdAstraStories #LatinxHeritageMonth #Publishing #BookPublishing #BookCommunity #ReadersOfInsta #ReadersOfIG #ReadBooks #ReadersOfInstagram #Bookstagram #BookishCommunity #BooksConnectUs #BookClubsOfInstagram
