ACADEMY TESTIMONIALS

“I really, really loved attending Inkluded Academy. I wasn't sure how to get into publishing after graduating college, but being a part of Inkluded helped me in so many ways. Before Inkluded, I'd never even heard of the Production department, but afterward, I realized that it was the perfect fit for my personality, skillset, and future goals. After the academy, I had the opportunity to do an internship in an area I had never worked in, and I gained some really interesting insights into the publishing industry. The connections I made through Inkluded were instrumental in helping me get my current job—which I love. Also, I met so many people through Inkluded, and I was able to become good friends with other people from my Inkluded Academy class.”

“Inkluded has taught me skills I use every day and opened doors in publishing that I never imagined were there. The spirit of community and generosity has extended past the Academy into an ongoing network of support and mutual aid. I could not be more grateful for having Inkluded during one of the worst times to try to break into publishing and would not be where I am now without it and all the people that made it possible. A hundred million thanks
