Legit can’t think of a better way to pass the time in morning traffic than transcribing @aimeefelone’s post-#KSWPrize-win interview. So proud of her, she’s done some mega impactful, lasting work to champion #diversity in #publishing. 🏆

Winner of last night's #KSWPrize @aimeefelone is a fearless changemaker. In 2017, she co-founded inclusive children's publisher @_KnightsOf (with @_davidstevens) and last year successfully crowd-funded £50k to open an inclusive bookshop in Brixton @BooksRound. Well-deserved.

The @KSWPrize and the Walwyn family - and of course Kim - deserve enormous thanks for their consistent support and championing of #womeninpublishing. Do read Kim's obituary here, for a sense of her spirit & therefore the spirit of this important prize: theguardian.com/news/2002/ap…
