Andersons certainly is diverse in their overall events - they host many, many signings with a wide variety of authors and illustrators. But for the breakfast, you're correct about the lack of diversity. It's a great idea for them to work with kidlitnation about this!Patricia Tohthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878871084215411303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-25930834110985077472019-02-27T22:07:06.818-05:002019-02-27T22:07:06.818-05:00Andersons is a huge supporter of the kidlit world,...Andersons is a huge supporter of the kidlit world, Darlene!

Julie Hedlund had posted about this meeting in 12x12, remarking at how all but one keynote speaker was male, and racial diversity was markedly absent. Did anyone discuss this at the meeting? Perhaps Anderson's need to focus a bit more on diversity in the future? I believe they could be helped out by KidLitNation's Urania Smith, who's very active in the Chicago area with SCBWI. http://kidlitnation.com/home/about/Jilanne Hoffmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866006633425949522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-30300576289426436282019-02-27T11:06:51.826-05:002019-02-27T11:06:51.826-05:00I had the pleasure of signing books at Anderson...I had the pleasure of signing books at Anderson's in 2015 when I was at the ALA Conference.

I have glommed onto what Andrea Beaty (leave room for the illustrator, look at previous illustrations in your last book for ideas in the new) & Max Amato (rebound after title already taken angst) shared. And as an aside, is there a family lineage from Max Amato to beloved children's author Mary Amato? Finally, congratuaions on attending your first Anderson's breakfast. I am sure every fan who scored your autograph enjoyed a delightful moment with personable you. I was fortunate to meet those Anderson folks during an ALA in Chicago when my one (& so far o n l y children's book debuted) & they were so fabulous to speak with. <br />jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.com
