Our leadership team receives at least yearly DEI Workshop training and attends webinars and workshops for professional development, as applicable and desired per department.

We partner with other non-profits and government agencies for community event programs (such as The Broad Stage and the Annenberg Community Beach House) and for book publication awards and publishing series that uplift and champion marginalized authors (such as the Letras Latinas publishing series with the University of Notre Dame and the Ann Petry Award for Black authors with the Peauxdunque Writers Alliance). We also create peer study reviews every few years, in which we ask publishing industry questions from other presses and nonprofits and then share that info with all participating organizations. All of our work and the successes of our authors are promoted across all social media platforms.

We have had to pull up publication timelines to match the delays in the book printing industry, and have found new printers with equal quality and shorter turnaround times. Throughout the last year, and since April 2020, we continue to address each policy and standard we created pre-pandemic, in order to better pivot to this new hybrid world. We did not furlough or lay off any staff members, and instead fundraised to increase staff pay to help match the increased cost for living in Los Angeles.
