THE LONDON BOOK FAIR: WRITERS' SUMMIT CONFERENCE

Diversity & Inclusion In Books - Have We Done Enough?

Gain a broader understanding of how diversity and inclusion (D&I) are delivered in the wider creative industries and engage in a thought-provoking conversation about what constitutes good practice in this area. Together, we will critically examine whether the creative industries are truly progressing in fostering diversity and inclusion or if there are setbacks that need to be addressed. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a meaningful discussion that aims to shape a more inclusive and diverse future for the publishing and creative industries.

I love author events especially in schools! Over the last few years I have participated in a number of primary and secondary schools—assembly and classrooms up to 400 students in an assembly! As well as Avon residential and the Stoke Newington Literary Festival where I spoke to over 100 children. Luckily I have great noise management!  I also have years of experience working with learners of all ages. 

My sessions are best for KS2 and up. Events can be for any group size from a small class to a large assembly.

To book me for a school visit please contact me via Authors Aloud UK  or Contact an Author
