The original hashtag, created after the World Book Night failed to include BAME authors on its giveaway list, has rebranded as #ReadDiverse2016 to ‘celebrate diversity in all its forms’ for the whole year#DiverseDecember, last month’s celebration of writers of colour, was “hugely popular” according to the book bloggers who created it, and who are planning to continue the initiative through 2016.Bloggers Naomi Frisby and Dan Lipscombe launched the #DiverseDecember campaign on Twitter, in response to the absence of titles by writers of colour on the books selected for this year’s World Book Night. “The idea was to only read books by BAME writers throughout December, tweeting titles and mini-reviews to highlight books and share recommendations by a range of voices,” said Frisby, who blogs at the Writes of Women. “It’s been hugely popular. More people than we ever envisaged have taken part.” Related: How do we stop UK publishing being so posh and white?
