The ABPBC is committed to fostering diversity and inclusivity in the publishing community, and, through its member publishers and its activities, it supports the amplification of historically underrepresented and marginalized voices.
We are aware of an upsetting incident reported to have occurred at a Vancouver Writers Festival event this week involving the publisher of a BC literary periodical. We take these allegations seriously. We are investigating the matter and are in communication with our member publishers to determine what actions to take.
