HOW DID THE PEOPLE OF COLOR IN PUBLISHING GROUP START?

On August 7, 2016, Patrice Caldwell founded Young Publishing Professionals of Color which later became known as People of Color in Publishing.

The group was launched after Patrice was contacted by Jalissa Corrie, asking how to get better involved within the book publishing industry, in particular how to connect with more professionals of color. After seeing no such group, Patrice started this organization–first via a closed Facebook group. The group later expanded to include 6 subcommittees, chaired by a Planning Committee. Though the structure has changed, the organization is the same and running better than ever. Learn more about the team.
