London Book Fair - Voices Unheard: Addressing Inclusivity and Representation in Publishing World, Wednesday 13th March, 15.15 - 16.00

*PLEASE NOTE - Julie is no longer able to attend the event as LBF could not meet her access requirements*

This thought-provoking session is designed to recognise and embrace the power of narratives that have long been side-lined. The speakers will explore the importance of authentic storytelling, accurate representation, and the positive impact they have on readers of all backgrounds. From shedding light on diverse perspectives and the deepening crises for boys and men in publishing’s opportunities, to celebrating the remarkable progress achieved, acknowledge the challenges that remain, and chart a course towards a more inclusive and representative literary world. The debate will ensure that every voice finds its rightful place within the pages that shape our culture.
