Title text reads: Making the Invisible Visible: Editors as Changemakers. Body text reads: “[Culture] does not just passively exist …. It has continually to be renewed, recreated, defended,” according to academic Raymond Williams. As editors, we often think of our work as invisible and even as intended to be so. Join us to discuss how we can be visible and create positive change within our profession, including making book publishing and the wider editorial profession more equitable, diverse, and inclusive. We’ll focus on creating a profession we all find value in and feel valued in, and on exploring the role editors play in renewing, re-creating, and defending our professional and wider cultures.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wcpeqpebttlbaeln6lqvqznf/bafkreidwzhpvg2bpkp3gcte3kx4lzwrgzxjtq7juy5azsvgyp7inmv7xkm)
