BackRoom: Extended Interview with Hush Harbour Press

BackRoom: Extended Interview with Hush Harbour Press
Interview by Isabella Wang
ROOM: Hello Alannah and Whitney! Thank you so much for taking the time out to talk with me today. First off, I wanted to send my congratulations, for seeing Hush Harbour Press off its feet! Would you like to begin by telling me about your initial visions of this press? What did you feel was lacking in the contemporary publishing industry, that compelled you, in turn, to contribute this space that will allow for championing of Black queer feminist authors?
WF: So this press has just been a beautiful, growing dream in the sense that it is something that I personally have been thinking about or dreaming about, hoping to happen. And then, as me and Alannah, and so many other amazing supporters and Black folks are excited to join us on this journey, the dream is just expanding. When you are talking about what’s lacking in the contemporary publishing industry, oomph. Honestly, I have the answer that I usually give, but I’m a facilitator as well as an educator. So last night I taught a class—a program for BIPOC folks, BIPOC writers, and we had a really beautiful post-workshop conversation and one of the participants was asking questions: “Is my work too narrow? Is my work too niche?” And it was very heartbreaking hearing that because somewhere along the lines of wanting to write and wanting to publish, voices, and gatekeepers, and white folks, and industry leaders, have told this student that their stories are not important. And it is just so hard as a teacher, facilitator, and a writer myself who is trying to create space for stories like mine and stories and others. It is just really heartbreaking to hear that response and already believing that their work is too small or niche or narrow, that really does speak to what [the industry] is lacking deep breathe in. And it is not that it isn’t there; me and Alannah talked about how we are not super worried that there isn’t a plethora of talent in this country—there is! I think the thing about the industry is like many industries that have been running for a while, particularly, like Canadian Literature: very often folks are used to what has worked in the past and that time is not very useful or friendly to Black folks at all. Alannah, do you want to speak to that?
