Blk + Brwn Book Designers Will Present Pathways Workshops in Spring 2026
Inkluded is thrilled to announce a new Pathways partnership with Blk + Brwn Book Designers Inc., a literary nonprofit making book design accessible through hands-on workshops for a global community of creatives, from beginners to professionals. Together, we’ll curate two virtual in-depth workshops this spring that explore the art and practice of book design.
Intro to Book Design - Part 1 on Thursday, Mar 26 at 7 pm
Intro to Book Design - Part 2 on Thursday, Apr 23 at 7 pm
This partnership reflects Inkluded’s ongoing mission to collaborate with like-minded organizations that share our vision for a more inclusive publishing industry. Book design is a crucial yet often overlooked area of publishing, making this partnership an especially exciting addition to our programming.
Through these workshops, Pathways participants will gain practical insights from industry professionals while exploring how design choices shape the reader experience and communicate a book’s identity. Each session will include demonstrations, guided exercises, and opportunities for attendees to receive feedback on their own design concepts.
We look forward to deepening our relationship with Blk + Brwn Book Designers Inc. and continuing to expand the ways Inkluded supports and emboldens BIPOC voices across every facet of publishing.
