Street Noise Books Makes Noise with Inclusive, Queer, Feminist, and Marginalized Authors
I was browsing the Independent Book Publishers Association website (I’m a member) and I came across an interview with Liz Frances, founder of Street Noise Books. This is one to take note of for those of dedicated to inclusivity in publishing and writing. From the intro:
“One of IBPA’s core values is inclusivity, working towards a publishing industry where everyone can tell their story and find themselves in the content they read. Accordingly, from the moment we learned about the new independent publishing company Street Noise Books last year, we wanted to showcase their work. Not only is their mission to give a voice to marginalized communities but they also actively seek talent in untraditional ways.”
Read the interview to find why the mission of inclusivity, queerness, feminism and intersectionality are core values for Street Noise Books, and encounter the dedication and erudition of its founder. A fabulous read!
