Today's guest is Manuela Velasco, the marketing and publicity director, as well as an editor for Tessera Editorial, which was founded on the idea that publishing can and should be an accessible industry to all people. Through myriad diverse voices in the profession, Tessera Editorial hopes to open the world of books to as many readers as possible. Manuela joined me today to talk about the services that Tessera offers as well as why getting people of color into all aspects of publishing, not just as authors, is important for true diversity and inclusivity in the industry.
