Macmillan, one of the "big five" publishers is the first large house to join the survey. With imprints like Farrar, Straus & Giroux, First Second, Henry Holt, St. Martin’s Press, and Tor/Forge, their participation is a nice step in the right direction in knowing more about the current state of diversity in publishing. So let's turn the pressure up. If you are an author or illustrator, ask your editor/publisher to participate in this survey. If you are a book lover who wants to see more diversity behind the scenes and reflected in the books published each year, encourage fellow readers to sign this petition. Our deadline for the survey is September 15, 2015, so ACT NOW.
