The CBC Diversity Committee Speaks with YALSA’s The Hub
“With the enthusiasm, support, and resources of the CBC, this group was then able to start channeling their passions into concrete steps. As a result, the CBC Diversity Committee has hosted events for agents and editors interested in publishing diverse books, created panel discussions (on book jackets, and an awareness panel at ALA), hosted discussion groups for publishers, launched an active blog with posts by committee members and wonderful guest bloggers, and done outreach to high school and college students in an effort to educate and excite students about careers in publishing. And that’s where we are today — hoping to be another resource in this complex and essential dialogue about children’s books.”
