I’m gonna be joining in with Rashmi and donating my time, knowledge and expertise on this, so give her a follow to keep updated on what’s coming. 😊
In light of the findings in the CLPE Reflecting Realities report, in 2025 I’m going to be starting regular free Ask Me Anything Zoom sessions for UK children’s writers of colour and BookTrust will host the first in March to help reach more writers! 📚
