Introducing The Every Voice Now Podcast, featuring the stories of authors of color and their journeys to getting published. In a white-dominated industry, it's not easy to overcome obstacles and achieve the goal of finishing a book and seeing it make its way into the world. This podcast will reveal the ways in which there are still systems and structures creating barriers for BIPOC, and yet these authors were able to find their way to the finish line. A production of IVP.
