Questions !!

Throughout the semester, we touched upon a variety of different issues. I listed some I would like to explore further. I am really saddened but not surprised by the lack of diversity in the publishing industry. 

• How can we change this and get more women and authors of color into the industry?

• How do we change the literary canon and make books by authors of color more prominent and relevant?

• Does it begin with the books we are exposed to in schools?

• Who has the ownership to tell certain stories? How do we determine this?

•  How will technology impact the future of the publishing industry?

• Will it eventually go extinct?

• How do we become environmentally friendly while not losing the impact of physically reading a book?

• How do we stop books like American Dirt from being published?

• Should we stop books like American Dirt from being published?

• Do we have the right to control what books should or should not get published?

• How do we determine what places/sources we should buy books from?

I also have more questions, but at the moment I think these are the ones that are the most interesting!
