The LGBTQ and Allies Social

Community within community - after gathering in a large circle and asking questions of our special faculty guests Heidi Stemple and Bruce Coville, we broke into two smaller circles to discuss writing Middle Grade and YA in one, and Picture Books in the other.

Heidi shared about the new Kid Lit Pride Scholarship she established at the Highlights Foundation, which is an amazing opportunity!

In the YA circle, projects and craft tips were shared, with encouragement and support.

When the session broke, the whole group went to join the Equity and Inclusion social, because, as I always say,

"our job is to be allies to all."
