Great to have Steering Group members at this year's London Book Fair talking about the first stages of the pilot project and the possible next steps in their briefing session. Lots of great feedback from LBF attendees in the networking session afterwards. Watch this space for a reminder of how you can get involved - as well as more news from the LBF event. #LBF24 #reflectingdisability #cerrieburnell #ArtsCouncil #ChildsPlay #jessicakingsleypublishers #authenticrepresentation

One of the authors who has agreed to play a key role in leading this project when it starts soon is the one and only Lisette Auton. More news coming soon! #DisabledRealities #artscouncilengland. #AltText: Picture is of author Lisette Auton. She is a white woman with brown hair. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is open as if shouting and she is holding up her purple stick and wearing a purple T-shirt with a slogan on it that reads “disability is not a bad word.”
