Launched during 2016’s Hispanic Heritage Month in the US, the Latinos in Publishing group have established an online presence hoping to build a community for Latinx writers and publishers to enhance their professional networking and connections. The site they hoses offers resources (such as scholarships and references to agents) and job offers as well as books worked on by Latinx authors and publishers. The group also hosts and/or alerts readers to events on and offline to further gain attention and spread awareness to making the Latinx voice more represented in the American book market.
