People of the Pride Parade

• Timed to release with the fiftieth anniversary of the first Pride March, the first anniversary of the NYC WorldPride festivities, the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, and LGBT Pride Month, making it an easy and timely tie-in with a sales and media hook.

• Unique addition to a successful genre. While there are books about the Pride March and its history, this is the first book to take the "man-on-the-street" documenting style that made Humans of New York (Macmillan, 2013, 528,000 RTD) popular, and that focuses on why people march today, not historically, similar to the Women's March books Why We March: Signs of Protest and Hope (Artisan, 2017, 34,000 RTD) and Together We Rise: Behind the Scenes at the Protest Heard Around the World (Dey Street, 2018, 17,000 RTD).

• Vibrant packaging complete with 200 vivid full-color photographs captures the joyful spirit, exuberant celebrants, and lively looks that make WorldPride such an unforgettable event.

• 2019's WorldPride NYC was a massive event attended by over 5 million peoplethe largest Pride ever. The wide audience of WorldPride, with attendees from around the world, shows that this book's appeal extends across the globe, and it is both a keepsake celebration volume for those who attend the parade and want to remember what it was like, and an entrance for those who wish they could attend.

• The photographer is a member of the LGBTQ+ community herself and can speak to the importance of the book and the Pride March from a personal perspective. A preface sets up what's to come, and she'll speak to it in book signings and book media.
