Recently Lee and Low published their 2019 Diversity Baseline Survey results on diversity in the publishing industry. The Diversity Baseline Survey (DBS 2.0) was created by Lee & Low Books with co-authors Laura M. Jiménez, PhD, Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development and Betsy Beckert, graduate student in the Language and Literacy Department of Wheelock College of Education & Human Development.
They first created a baseline study in 2015.This study was authored by Sarah Park Dahlen, PhD, St. Catherine University and Nicole Catlin, graduate student, St. Catherine University.
Unfortunately,even with a bigger response rate, the survey results' numbers reveal an industry, sales force, and book review staff that is overwhelmingly White, Cisgender, Straight and Non-Disabled. The issue of the All White World of Children's Books remains.
