Hi, I edit a left-leaning website on arts and culture, I couldn’t make the awards ceremony but I’d very much like to get in touch with people in the network to discuss the topic and in particular publishing radical children’s literature, on the site and as books.
Cheers,
Mike.
Good to speak to you on the phone right now, Mike. And good luck with your rad kids lit plans!
