Samenvatting
Academic study on diversity in trade fiction and the publishing industry in the UK. The publishing industry concedes that it has a problem with a lack of diversity. Publishers recognise that writers of colour in particular have been historically excluded. The research entailed qualitative interviews with professionals in the publishing industry. The research focused on three key areas: 1) acquisition; 2) promotion; 3) sales and retail.
