📚 National Hispanic Heritage Month opens today and runs through October 15. Here is why those dates.

September 15 is the independence anniversary of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico follows on the 16th, Chile on the 18th. The observance began as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Johnson in 1968 and was expanded to a full month under President Reagan in 1988.

We're a publisher, so we mark it by looking at the shelf.

Sandra Cisneros wrote The House on Mango Street, one of the most widely taught American novels of the last fifty years, and she spent years right here in San Antonio, where she founded the Macondo Writers Workshop. Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima brought a New Mexico into American literature that publishing had never printed. Tomás Rivera wrote a landmark work of migrant farmworker life and went on to become a university chancellor. Américo Paredes changed how this country understands the border, from a desk in Texas.

And of course - our very own group of published Hispanic-American authors that we're so proud of: Ms. Consuelo Montoya. Lou Pimber. Dr. Jose Lugo Santiago. C-Ray Stanziola. And many more.

That is not a footnote to American letters. That is American letters.

These are writers every American reader is better for having read, and the next generation of them is at work right now, in kitchens and libraries and on lunch breaks across this city.

Honoring Hispanic American voices, and the ones still finding their way to the page.

Today is International Literacy Day, established by UNESCO, which frames literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights.

We would go further. Literacy is the load-bearing wall of every other right you have.

Here's the issue: you cannot comprehend a lease you cannot read. You cannot check the dosage, contest the bill, follow the ballot, or find the clause that was added while you were not looking. Every protection a person has on paper assumes they can read the paper.

This is not distant history and it is not somewhere else. As a real life example, there are adults in Bexar County right now who navigate all of that by memory, by asking, by nodding through documents they cannot parse, and who have built entire careers around hiding it.

We're a publishing house. Our entire trade assumes a reader on the other end. So on this day we think about what it means that the reader is not guaranteed, and that somebody had to be taught.

If you can read this sentence, someone taught you. A parent, a teacher, a librarian, a grandmother with a newspaper and patience.

So - feel free to write their name in the comments. That is the whole ask today!

Today is Labor Day, and we want to say something to the authors who have a job.

Almost every book we publish was written by someone with a shift. A nurse. A teacher. A contractor. A veteran on a second career. People who wrote a chapter at five in the morning, or on a lunch break in a parked truck, or after the kids finally went to bed.

There is a story writers tell themselves that the job is the enemy of the book. That real writers quit and go somewhere quiet.

We have been doing this nineteen years, and we have not found that to be true.

The job is where the book comes from. The nurse knows what a family looks like at two in the morning when the news is bad. The contractor knows what it costs to keep a crew paid through a slow winter. That is not time stolen from your writing. That is the reason anyone will want to read it.

You do not need a sabbatical. You need ninety minutes on a Tuesday and the willingness to use them badly at first.

So today, rest. You earned it. Then this week, take the ninety minutes.

What is the strangest place you have ever gotten writing done? Tell us below!

🚺 Women's Equality Day: We Told You This One Was Coming.

Earlier this month we said the shelves are missing books that were never written, and that if your story is missing from the shelf, that isn't a gap in the market; that's an assignment.

Today we make good on it.

August 26th marks the certification of the 19th Amendment. It took women seventy-two years of organizing to win the vote in this country, and every one of those years is documented because somebody wrote it down. The suffrage movement ran on pamphlets, newspapers, and letters. It was, in the most literal sense, a publishing campaign.

That is worth remembering when you tell yourself your story is too small to matter.

The books we are still missing are not missing for lack of talent. They are missing because women were told there was no market for the memoir, the business book, the family history, the hard chapter nobody in the family talks about. There is always a market. It starts at one reader and it grows from there.

So here is the assignment, formally issued.

Name a woman in your life whose story belongs in print. Tag her, or just tell us about her. We read every one of these, and more than one comment on a post like this has turned into a manuscript.

🕯️ August 23rd: The UNESCO International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and Its Abolition

This is not an invented observance. UNESCO designated August 23rd in 1997, and the world has marked it every year since. The date is exact: on the night of August 22nd into the 23rd, 1791, enslaved men and women in Saint-Domingue rose against the system that held them. That uprising became the Haitian Revolution.

We are a publishing house, so we think about this day in terms of the record. And the record is older and wider than most of us were taught.

Slavery was not invented in the Atlantic. It ran through the ancient world. It moved along Mediterranean coasts, where corsair raids carried European villagers into captivity for centuries. It followed the Mongol armies across Asia and into the Middle East. It existed within Africa, within Asia, within the Americas before any ship crossed the ocean. The transatlantic trade was its most industrialized form, and its scale and cruelty were staggering, but the appetite behind it was not unique to one people. It was human.

That matters, because it means abolition was not one group's charity toward another. It was humanity turning on something inside itself and refusing it. That is one of the great achievements of our species, and it was won, not given.

It is also unfinished. The International Labor Organization estimates 50 million people live in modern slavery today: forced labor, forced marriage, trafficking. Every country. Including ours.

So we remember, and we keep working - because, human dignity is not negotiable ... and it never was.

🤝 Nineteen Years, One Table: Celebrating National Black Business Month ✒️

August is National Black Business Month, and I've spent twenty years building one.

I came up in publishing as a young African-American man with a manuscript and an opinion, and not much else. What I did have was a willingness to be the first one in the office and the last to leave, night after night, until the work spoke louder than anything anyone assumed about me. That's the inheritance I've run this company on: no excuses, relentless focus, work that doesn't ask for credit, and the understanding that you carry the people coming up behind you.

Here's the part I want you to hear. That inheritance was never meant to build a smaller room. It was meant to build a bigger table.

Look at who sits at ours. An art director trained in Mexico. A marketing director from Hawaii who sharpened his grit over twelve years far from home in Eastern Europe. A senior editor who ran her own magazine for two decades. An operations manager who served our country in the United States Air Force. Interns and junior associates drawn from UTSA's best talent. They don't look alike and they didn't come from the same place. They deliver. At CDFCO, results, attitude, and professionalism outrank every other consideration, and they always have.

Dr. King asked us to judge one another by character rather than color. We took him at his word and built a company on it.

So this month we celebrate Black-owned business, and we celebrate what Black-owned business has given this country: proof that excellence forged under pressure ends up serving everybody in the end. Our authors are Black, Caucasian, Latino, Asian, veterans, pastors, CPAs, grandmothers, and everyone else under the sun. The standard is the same for every one of them.

To every Black-owned business in San Antonio doing the work: we see you, and we're proud to stand alongside you.

Now tell us about a business owner in your community, any background, whose hustle deserves more recognition. Name them below.

📚 Cedric Says: If Your Story Is Missing From the Shelf, That's an Assignment ✒️

"Walk into any bookstore and you'll notice what's there. I've spent 44 years noticing what isn't. The shelves are missing the grandmother's recipes, the veteran's testimony, the neighborhood's history, because the people holding those stories were told they weren't writers. They were told wrong. If your story is missing from the shelf, that isn't a gap in the market; that's an assignment."

~Cedric D. Fisher, CEO

Two dates worth marking this month: International Youth Day on August 12th, and Women's Equality Day on August 26th. Both exist because somebody's voice was missing from the record long enough that we had to set aside a day to notice it. At CDFCO, we've spent over two decades publishing the voices that got left off the shelf, and we can tell you the gap is never a shortage of stories: it's a shortage of permission. Your grandmother's recipes are history. Your neighborhood's memory is research. Your testimony is a primary source.

We can help you shape it: editing, cover design, publishing, and marketing that treats your book like it belongs in the world, because it does. What we can't do is hand you the permission you've been waiting for; that one you have to give yourself. So walk past the shelf one more time and tell us what's missing that only you can write.
