Editors and proofreaders can play an essential role in this.Challenging books and other published materials that perpetuate racism and other misrepresentations and stereotypes, intentionally or otherwise, is a vital part of that. The CIEP is committed to doing whatever it can to help dismantle systemic barriers faced by writers of colour, and by those of other backgrounds and identities too often still marginalised and underrepresented in publishing.As a UK chartered body representing an international membership of editors and proofreaders, the CIEP stands with, and condemns the racist abuse of, the authors of colour who have highlighted slurs, stereotyping and other problems in Kate Clanchy’s book Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me.We recognise the limits of our influence, and we believe all organisations and individuals must act according to their conscience and values at times like this.Ī statement by the CIEP Council and THE CIEP Anti-Racism Working Group, 13 August 2021 Providing our members with information about what they can do to support Ukraine and its people.Avoiding business with representatives or supporters of the current Russian regime for the duration of its aggression towards Ukraine.We therefore know well the importance of the fundamental right to think, speak and write freely, and commend the courage of the editors and proofreaders of Ukraine and Russia in saying, against a background of provocation and threats: Not today, not on our watch.īy confronting the words of intolerance and by fighting the war against disinformation, they have earned our utmost respect.
