A proposito di questo titolo

Today, we’re discussing St. Martin’s Press and the controversy regarding one of their employees and the company’s silence on the issue.

To recap, in late October, an employee of St. Martin’s Press made a post on Instagram the content of which held a lot of hatred towards Muslims, Palestinians, pro-Palestinian protesters, and other marginalized communities. The employee’s identity wasn’t disclosed, but this person works in marketing. The ask was that SMP make a statement condemning the statements by the employee and ensuring the safety of BIPOC and marginalized authors and influencers who work with them. As of yet, they have remained silent. In response, Muslim and BIPOC booktok members have organized a petition and a marketing boycott. The petition asks SMP to speak up about the incident. The boycott asks booktok influencers to not review books published by SMP or their imprint Wednesday books.
