WORKSHOPS

• Encouraging Diversity in Children’s Books    This session will discuss the collective action required to promote kidlit that truly reflects the reality of the world around us, so that children can see themselves honestly portrayed in the books they read, in a way that is inclusive of race, religion, gender, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, ability and other identifiers of diversity. audience: Writers and illustrators, all levels. 
• Role of the Literary Agent  This session will discuss the role played by an agent from helping get the manuscript in shape for submission, the submission process, negotiating the publishing contract and managing an author’s career together with the publisher, drawing from HSG’s practices and philosophy. audience: Writers and illustrators, all levels.
