📢EVENT ALERT📢 Where? University of Glasgow When? 3rd April 2025 We are ecstatic to launch the #CfP for our upcoming #symposium: '#Publishing #Fantasy for Younger Readers' featuring a #keynote by the fantastic Frances Hardinge! #Glasgow #WhatsOnGlasgow #Academia #Conference

Congrats to Farrah Serroukh and CLPE on the excellent annual #ReflectingRealities report. Sadly, the significant drop in representation is what many of us feared/predicted would happen. Let this be a wake-up call for publishers to stay committed to truly representing all of society

Using #ReflectingRealities day to highlight this FREE School of Education event (5th December) with RR pioneer Farrah Serroukh and advisory board members Darren Chetty & Karen Sands-O'Connor, discussing representation in children's books in the UK. Don’t miss it!

How nostalgia, cultural lag, and the pursuit of fast profits impact the children's books we see in shops.

🔥 from Darren Chetty and Karen Sands-O'Connor in the The Bookseller today, commenting on children’s literature, publishing and the #ReflectingRealities report

Please let us know about your #ReadPalestineWeek events, so we can add them to the calendar.
