In Case You Missed It:

Author Morgan Christie and I spent a fun hour discussing the importance of creating underrepresented stories with the Canadian Authors Association Toronto. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-hv_wAp_eE

From the video: Diverse books with underrepresented characters are an important way to celebrate everyone’s unique experiences, cultures, and identities. It allows people to see themselves reflected in books, and conveys the message that they count and their experiences matter.

Celebrated Canadian writer Morgan Christie and American writer Idris Grey reflect on their journeys from amateur writers to prize winning authors. They recount the difficulties they faced when fighting for representation in the publishing world, and share tips on how to create stories with feelings that touch readers.
