5/17 EVENT: We Need Diverse Books YA Author Panel in Austin

Book People in Austin, TX presents:


WE NEED DIVERSE BOOKS!

And we need them NOW! Join us this afternoon as five YA authors are here to discuss diversity in YA literature. I. W. Gregorio, Natalie C. Parker, Sona Charaipotra, Dhonielle Clayton and Marike Nijkamp will all be here to talk about their novels, their writing processes, and why we need more books that reflect the big, beautiful, dynamic world we all share. Austin author Cynthia Leitich Smith will moderate the conversation. We Need Diverse Books™ is a grassroots organization of children’s book lovers that advocates essential changes in the publishing industry to produce and promote literature that reflects and honors the lives of all young people. We're honored to host an official WNDB event and cannot wait to welcome these fantastic authors to BookPeople!

After the public event, the authors will host a writing workshop here at BookPeople. Space for the workshop is limited. RSVP as soon as you can.
