It’s important for everyone to see themselves in a book!
Read Furiously believes that reading diverse books and lifting up diverse authors will change the world. We want to do our part in making sure the books we publish and share reflect this mission.

Everyone, young and old deserves to find books with characters that look like them or think like them. Stories should be about everyone and include everyone. I want my library to be part of the big diverse tapestry of humankind. I want you to find you there.
All communities need to have access to books by a wide range of authors.
