Register now for MBPR’s September in-person luncheon: Publishing in a Time of Censorship.

Join MBPR for a roundtable discussion about publishing in the current political climate. From book bans to censorship to attacks on diversity, this moderator-guided discussion will touch on some of the biggest difficulties facing publishers and some of the solutions our peers have found.

In order to foster open and candid discussion, this in-person event will NOT be recorded. Please join us if you wish to participate!
