Letters and Numbers

How much diversity is there in books and publishing?


Listen Later

Over the first three episodes of Letters & Numbers, we've seen how the publishing industry is dominated by the Big Five publishers, and what this means for readers and writers. In this episode, we dig beneath the outward appearance of 'diversity' in publishing - both in content and perspective - and take a look at what is really going on, by taking an uncommonly numerical approach.

Join author, linguist, and mathematician-in-the-making Sarah on an  exploration of the world through the lens of letters and numbers!
