World KidLit: Diversity in Publishing Children’s Books
12 Mar 2019, 11:30 - 12:30
Literary Translation Centre
- Language:
- English
Whether translating works from around the world into English, bringing together writers and artists from different backgrounds to create original multicultural projects or promoting multilingual books, the panellists will share their experiences in publishing books that celebrate the diverse world we live in and the diverse readers who inhabit it. From selecting titles and topics, to marketing books through complementary activities that reflect the multilingual nature of UK’s society, the session, organised by Literature Across Frontiers, will explore the wider context of publishing books for young readers today.
The Literary Translation seminar programme is produced with the help of funding from Arts Council England and Amazon Crossing Sponsorship
