Each year, BookTrust Represents offers free industry training to aspiring/emerging authors and illustrators of colour. With a mix of workshops, advice clinics and expert Q&As, the training sessions are hosted by well-known children’s book authors and illustrators and notable industry experts. Past hosts include Patrice Lawrence, Chitra Soundar and Dapo Adeola.
This year’s theme is ‘The Confident Author’ and we’re focusing on how to build confidence and make the most of networking as an author or illustrator.
All Development Week sessions will be virtual and take place September 20-24.
