Moon Lane

Moon Lane includes four physical bookshops, a school supply and book consultancy, annual literary festivals and a wide range of other initiatives promoting a life-long love of books. Moon Lane believes that the lack of diversity in the UK publishing industry leads to a singular dominant voice in our cultural conversation, limiting empathy, understanding, integration and social mobility. We work to address this by bridging the gap between the UK’s brilliantly diverse population and UK publishing, in order to ensure that every child sees themselves represented in our children’s book ranges. Our initiatives include highlighting and celebrating the work of authors and illustrators from under-represented groups, ensuring a route to market for more diverse titles, working closely with schools in our communities to drive the vital conversation about inclusion in children’s books, and creating opportunities for young people from a more diverse range of backgrounds, to access careers in bookselling and publishing.
