Who we are.

Sunday Dinner Publishing (SDP) is an indie publishing company created by educators. Founded over a Sunday Dinner discussion about diversity in the publishing industry, SDP aims to highlight inclusive authentic writing which brings everyone to the table. The mission-based company is dedicated to disrupting the publishing industry by centering marginalized creatives in our:

• Acquisitions: We publish diverse/inclusive books to reflect the world in which we live.

• Collaborations: We hire diverse creatives; highlighting voices that are traditionally marginalized in publishing.

• Partnerships: We partner with like-minded brands/companies to support traditionally marginalized voices in publishing.

Our Mission:

There is an urgent need for diversity, equity, and inclusion in publishing (from the top-down). Recent data of the publishing industry, BIPOC and marginalized creatives make up less than 30% of the overall publishing industry. That means marginalized voices continue to get left out of the conversations from acquisition, to marketing. Even when BIPOC titles are purchased/sold they paid significantly less than that of their white counterparts (#publishingpaidme). Recent surveys show marginalized voices receive less in overall author investment from the industry (including advances, publicity budgets, etc.).
