We'll be digging into questions such as:

• What actionable steps can we take today to accelerate progress toward gender equality in the publishing industry and beyond?
• Can you share a personal /professional experience where you felt compelled to take bold action to overcome a challenge or break a barrier as a woman?
• What role do storytelling and representation in books play in driving societal change and inspiring action toward a more inclusive future?
• There will also be an open Q&A so participants can engage with the conversation too.

The event will be on Zoom and we are actively encouraging local schools, bookshops and libraries to also participate. The recording will be made publicly available on our YouTube (and other socials) channel after the event but the live, in-person Q&A will be a powerful and positive experience for everyone who participates!
