Kweli Children's Book Writers Conference

I'm excited to speak on a panel at the Kweli Conference and mentor young writers and artists of color. Register here for what should be a fantastic day!

"Kweli's spring conference is an excellent opportunity for writers and illustrators of color to learn, get inspired and network with others in the industry. The day will include a keynote address by award-winning author, EDWIDGE DANTICAT. Our panels and workshops will cover topics from the craft of writing to the business of writing. Top editors, agents, and authors will discuss crucial steps to help launch a writer's career and offer carefully considered manuscript critiques. We will end the day with an evening reception."
