The issue of sustainability can sometimes feel overwhelming for authors. From deforestation to create paper, to book pulping, transportation, water usage and the use of foils and toxic inks (to name a few), publishing has a particularly harmful environmental impact. But this doesn’t have to be the case.
Launched in February 2024, as part of our ongoing work around sustainability, our Sustainability Network is a space for writers, illustrators and literary translators to discuss concerns, industry insights, and share resources and general tips about sustainability issues. Members will receive updates about our work on sustainability and news about exclusive network events.
We will share more information about the group’s offering soon. To sign up, please use the form below.
The Society of Authors (SoA) are signatories of Publishing Declares. If these issues are important to you, please sign up, too.
