Core Commitments

Work towards all new books being authentically inclusive.

Ensure that books and book events are accessible to as wide an audience as possible.

Supplementary Commitments

For each book ask ‘Who is represented in this book, and how? Are the characters reflective of the world we live in? Is the representation authentic?’

Sign up to relevant newsletters to keep in touch with developments.
