Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at Kingdom of Threads

At Kingdom of Threads, we believe that stories flourish through diversity. As a company dedicated to creating merchandise that celebrates the worlds of literature and fandom, we are committed to embedding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging into every aspect of our work—from the narratives we elevate to the people we hire and collaborate with.

Creating an Inclusive & Equitable Workplace

We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and equitable environment where employees, contractors, and artists from all backgrounds are valued, supported, and empowered. We actively collaborate with a diverse roster of authors, artists, and creatives, ensuring the perspectives we uplift reflect the rich tapestry of voices in the literary and fan communities we serve.

Our Commitment to Equity in Hiring and Partnerships

  • We actively recruit, hire, and collaborate with individuals from underrepresented and marginalized communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and neurodivergent creators, to ensure a diversity of voices within our business.
  • We provide fair compensation, equitable opportunities, and a supportive work environment for all employees and contractors.
  • We prioritize partnerships with authors, publishers, and creators who represent diverse perspectives in literature, particularly in fantasy and speculative fiction.
  • We cultivate a workplace and community where every individual is respected and belongs, where their identity and experiences are valued, and they have opportunities to contribute and grow.

Beyond Business: Giving Back to the Literary Community

We believe that access to diverse stories should be unrestricted. As part of our mission to support literacy, inclusivity, and the right to read, Kingdom of Threads donates 10% of our profits to organizations that:

  • Fight book bans and advocate for intellectual freedom.
  • Support diversity and equity in publishing and the literary world and beyond.
  • Champion LGBTQIA+ rights and ensure queer voices are represented and heard in literature.

In 2024, Kingdom of Threads donated over $50,000 to charity. Some organizations included in that giving are featured below.

We recognize that fostering diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is an ongoing journey—one that requires continuous learning, listening, and action. We are committed to enhancing our efforts, amplifying diverse voices, and ensuring that Kingdom of Threads remains a place where every reader, creator, and fan belongs.

At Kingdom of Threads, everyone deserves a seat at the table—and a story that reflects their unique identity.
