Publishers Weekly Article on 10 Years of WNDB

I had the pleasure of speaking with Claire Kirch of Publishers Weekly on my thoughts of the last 10 years of We Need Diverse Books and also on the state of the world.

Ellen Oh is the co-founder of We Need Diverse Books, the nonprofit organization that advocates for diversity in all aspects of the book publishing industry. As part of WNDB’s 10th-anniversary celebration this year, Oh is being honored by Dav Pilkey and Sayuri Pilkey, who recently established a grant in Oh’s name for creators of Asian heritage. Having served as WNDB’s executive director for 10 years, Oh stepped back a year ago and currently serves as an honorary trustee. PW spoke with Oh about the group’s beginnings, its accomplishments, the impact of book bans, and what people can do to combat censorship.
