Event Description
It's ALL CHANGE in the world of children's books.
With budgets falling, digital rising, a challenging market, and all things traditional under threat, authors and illustrators can rely on one thing : the power of STORY.
With its trademark offerings of inspiration, craft, marketing and opportunity - this year's conference explores how children's authors and illustrators - published and yet to be published - can respond to the rapid pace of change in the industry today.
Keynote Speakers are Frank Cottrell Boyce and Chris Riddell plus a faculty of many other authors, illustrators and industry guests .
