Literary Agents of Change Launch Equity Directory
Literary Agents of Change has launched the Equity Directory, an online directory featuring literary agents who self-identify as BIPOC.
The Equity Directory is a free resource that will be maintained by a team of volunteers with the organization, with the hope of expanding the directory in the years ahead.
"This effort felt like a natural next step in our work to actively support diversity within the publishing industry," said Literary Agents of Change president and literary agent Katie Kotchman in a statement. "When we heard about the loss of the Literary Agents of Color database founded by Penny Moore, we realized we could step up to fill a need. With this launch we're excited to foster connections between BIPOC agents, creators, and industry colleagues. It's a chance for us to devote financial resources to creating and maintaining an intentional space for community."
