End tally
5 by Small Independent houses
4 by Random House
3 by Macmillan
2 by Scholastic
1 by Penguin
1 by Hyperion

I am not surprised that small independent houses are responsible for 5 of the 16 Latino authors published this year. Though I am pleasantly surprised with Random House coming in second with four.

It's second nature for me to pay attention to who publishes what. That's why I know it would be unfair to judge a publishers author diversity on this alone.

Take Scholastic for example, not including The Last Summer of the Death Warriors or The Dreamer, off the top of my head I know at least four of the MG/YA titles by authors of color I've read this year have been published by Scholastic.

I think its important to know who publishes what and have the full picture. Since this feature was about MG/YA Latino authors you'll have to get the full picture somewhere else.
