#Twentyin2020 is announced and it's quite the moment.
In January, we revealed the amazing writers who now make up our #Twentyin2020 cohort. We made the groundbreaking announcement in The Guardian and it received a brilliant reception. Read the Guardian story here.
Twenty in 2020 is a trailblazing programme in collaboration with Words of Colour that will dedicate a year to publishing 20 works by Black British writers. The works will include adult fiction, nonfiction and poetry. The aim of the initiative is to normalize the presence of diverse literature, characters and authors across all genres and curricula, with the hope that it will be a source of inspiration for a new generation of publishing professionals and authors.
