... [+]Philanthropist Melinda French Gates is launching her own publishing imprint.
Moment of Lift Books, an imprint of Macmillan’s Flatiron Books, will publish nonfiction “across a broad range of fields to advance equity for women and girls,” Macmillan said in a press release. The name comes from French Gates’ own 2019 memoir, “The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World.”
“While we’ve made tremendous progress towards gender equality in recent decades, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disproportionately affect women’s lives and livelihoods,” French Gates said in a statement. “As the world works to advance an equitable recovery, Moment of Lift Books will publish visionaries who are helping ensure women’s voices and perspectives are not left behind.”
The imprint’s first three titles are expected to be published in 2023. Jina Krause-Vilmar, President and CEO of nonprofit Upwardly Global, which supports immigrants and refugees, will publish a book about “the systems that keep refugee women at the economic margins.” David Moinina Sengeh, Minister of Basic and Senior Secondary Education and Chief Innovation Officer in Sierra Leone, will write about the fight to allow pregnant girls to attend school there. And Joanne N.
French Gates is hardly the first high-profile figure to get her own imprint. Oprah’s imprint at Flatiron, which has been around since 2015, has published non-fiction books such as writer Ashley C. Ford’s memoir “Somebody’s Daughter” and activist Tarana Burke’s memoir “Unbound: My Story of Liberation and the Birth of the Me Too Movement.”
