promote careers in the UK book industry to 14-19-year-olds from underrepresented backgrounds.\u00a0 A joint initiative between the Publishers Association, the Booksellers Association and the Association of Authors Agents, it has received support from Bonnier Books CEO Perminder Mann who spoke about the initiative at the Sharjah Publishers Conference in the United Arab Emirates on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cOpenBooks will showcase a range of book-related career options across publishing, bookselling, literary agenting and beyond,\u201d she told delegates.\u00a0 \u201cDrawing in a wide range of inspiring speakers, events will be curated to bring insights into the book industry, demystifying career options, identifying routes in, and positioning the books industry alongside other inspirational creative industries such as film, TV and music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cEvents will be open to all and freely available to watch online at any time, reducing barriers to accessibility including travel and cost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The initiative will be promoted via UK schools and education settings, community groups, youth organisations, bookshops, and other networks, as well as directly to young people online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Mann is the daughter of first generation immigrants from the Punjab in India.\u00a0 Interviewed on stage about representation in the industry by incoming International Publishers Association president Karine Pansa, Mann said that diversity \u2013 she prefers to use the phrase \u201cinclusion and representation\u201d \u2013 is a \u201ccommercial, social and moral imperative\u201d.\u00a0 She continued: \u201cWe we need a workforce that represents the audience that we want to serve, a workforce that will create publishing lists that speak to every reader and listener \u2013 if we achieve this we will connect with more readers [and] we will sell more book.\u00a0 Representation will benefit publishers financially.\u00a0 It will ensure we remain relevant and sustainable as an industry.\u00a0 In the UK we have an incredible rich multicultural society \u2013 we simply can\u2019t afford continue to market and sell books to the same narrow demographic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
