Welcome to a bonus episode of Every Voice Now! This week we are going rough and tumble with an impromptu conversation with the producer of the Every Voice Now podcast, Helen Lee. Helen also serves as the associate director of strategic partnerships and initiatives for InterVarsity Press and has previously worked as the director of marketing and as an associate editor at IVP. Helen recently had the chance to write an article for the Asian American Christian Collaborative entitled "US Demographics Are Changing, and the Publishing Industry Needs to Follow Suit," in which she outlined the current realities in this largely-white industry and also challenged Christian publishing professionals to be more proactive in pursuing change. You'll also hear about the origins of the Every Voice Now initiative and podcast! We hope you enjoy this honest conversation about the publishing context with three professionals of color.
