Starting in May, Tom Doherty Associates—the parent company of Tor, Forge, Tor Teen, Starscape, Nightfire, and Tordotcom Publishing—will present Tor EDU, a free virtual event series designed to familiarize people with the publishing industry in general and with the specifics of working in genre fiction. Tor EDU will act as a virtual primer on what every facet of the industry entails. Every three months, a new panel of experts will discuss a different aspect of the business and answer audience questions with an eye towards making involvement in the literary ecosystem more accessible to all. As a press release explains, “Tom Doherty Associates is committed to publishing and recruiting diversely, and feels strongly that part of that commitment should take the form of education. Debut authors and new employees—particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds—often come to the publishing process feeling unknowledgeable and at a loss for what to ask. Providing easily accessible information about the publishing process to our authors and our community is a priority for TDA as one of the premier publishers of genre fiction in America.”
