Milkweed Editions & The Lupine Collaborative
We have partnered to catalyze, platform, and publish the work of Black women, transgender, and non-binary climate & environmental writers. Through this partnership, Milkweed will support Lupine’s writer-in-residence with dedicated staff time, provide support with communication and author connections, and be a collaborator on our writing retreats & labs.
"We have been publishing transformative literature exploring our relationship to place and the more-than-human world for years, much of it authored by artists from marginalized communities. We need the perspectives -- and the activism -- of such authors now more than ever, and we at Milkweed are always looking to deepen our relationships with them, and with aligned organizations. We share with the Lupine Collaborative a vision for a future of reciprocity and mutual flourishing, and we look forward both to contributing as we can to their inspired work, and to learning along the way."
Daniel Slager, Publisher & CEO, Milkweed Editions
“I honestly couldn’t dream of a more ideal partner than Milkweed to collaborate on the creation and distribution of the work of Black women, transgender, and non-binary climate and environmental writers. Milkweed is a known and trusted pillar in the community and in crafting this partnership, my understanding of them as a steady, curious, and thoughtful publisher deepened. I’m grateful for their willingness to partner to expand the ecosystem in this way.”
Grace Anderson, Founder of The Lupine Collaborative
