Diane Wilson Testimonial
“With Milkweed I thought, ‘this is where my book belongs,’ because of their commitment to taking care of the earth, as well as high-quality literature. I wanted to publish with Milkweed, because I knew it would give me a platform for having a conversation on a broader scale about issues that I really care about.”
Margaret Renkl Testimonial
“Milkweed books are instruction manuals for how to love the world, in all of its glorious manifestations, but also how to be responsible for it, for the planet and for each other.”
Michael Kleber-Diggs Testimonial
“I am working with a dream publisher. The book has a talented team behind it invested in its success. I have a talented team behind me invested in my growth and development. I’m having conversations on big stages with leading writers and thinkers. I thought I was launching a book, but now I feel like I’m launching my career.”
