In addition to reviewing all of our publications for gender neutrality in English and Spanish, we are dedicated to creating safe and supportive spaces for our LGBTQIA+ community. Every facet of our organization from our staff, board, leadership, and volunteers includes you. Additionally, we ensure that all of our major conferences offer opportunities for socials, speakers, and community. Our inaugural SCBWI Celebrates #OwnVoices series featured an LGBTQIA+ panel and social. This panel recording is available to the public until February 14 here.
