@zettaelliott @bibliofeel_ Unfortunate, yes, because it's trying to protect people from racism but I think it's better
to talk about it,
to open people mind about what they are really believe
and then to try to change the world in a better place for everyone.
Not just avoiding it.

13% of the US population is American Africans but only 2% of the US children's literature is about them...

@HollieMonaghan4 I think the conference missed the most important speaker to make it perfect: you 😘💛💚

"Being special is nice, being solvent is nice, but being able to write as a full-time job is wonderful", Denise Mina, when talking about the importance of publisher's work editing a book and selling it. There is not a better way of finishing today's #SYP conference! #SYPVS

[Alexandra Sautois @BookswithAlex]

A wonderful and really funny speech from @DameDeniseMina for the closing performance of #SYPVS conference 😉 really interesting for us, future maybe publishers, to hear from authors, and promise: we will consider more authors; knowing "fuck you" can turn up in "I love you" 🤓📗

@bibliofeel_ @zettaelliott Les français savent mieux cachés leur racisme, ils ne le mesurent pas....

#SYPVS finishing but a wonderful moment and conferences 😍 Thank you very much for everything!
I could have an interesting point of view on book industry thanks to @puretemerity or @bwpublishing or children's lit thanks to @zettaelliott 📚 and meet the really kind @kirstinlamb

[Alexandra Sautois @BookswithAlex]

When @zettaelliott understood that "racism in Publishing is cultural and systematic", she opened her own publishing house to show to colour people there are other people like them as characters in lit and their voices are as important as anybody else! 💪📚

[Alexandra Sautois @BookswithAlex]

Just the beginning of @zettaelliott speech and I already wants to read her books 😍📚🙏
"There is repression in children's literature" so she write her own books about what she wants to see in it and was repressed: stories about colour children

James Robertson, from @bwpublishing, makes a big point for me when he said that translation "is a long term thing" because "people will come for your books" once they already saw or read it the previous ones 🙌🙏📚

[Alexandra Sautois @BookswithAlex]

'Reading between the lines' implies translation which is "interesting to consider" for Saba Ahmed but has issues in Scotland, with notably the lack of fundings for some translations like @CharcoPress 😱🙏📚

"Reading is particularly important for politicans. If more politicians read more fiction the world would be a better place". Thank you for your speech @NicolaSturgeon #SYPVS
