A Year of Connection for Black Storytellers & Bridge-Building for Children’s Book Publishing Professionals
In partnership with the Highlights Foundation, The Brown Bookshelf presents this year-long program set to amplify Black stories, with a focus on supporting Black storytellers while confronting industry challenges and fostering change. There will be two cohorts/tracks in the program: one for Black creators and one for publishing professionals.
The publishing cohort will include a diverse and inclusive gathering of executives, editors, marketing, and design staff from publishing houses.

In addition to supporting Black creators and this program collaboration, your sponsorship of this program enables you to enroll staff members who can work to build an action plan for your organization.
