    28Th Annual Agents & Editors Conference Craft • Business • Community

    28TH ANNUAL AGENTS & EDITORS CONFERENCE CRAFT • BUSINESS • COMMUNITY SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2021 AUSTIN, TEXAS 1 On behalf of everyone here at the Writers’ League of Texas, welcome to the 28th annual Agents & Editors Conference. Whether you’re joining us in-person or virtually, we can’t thank you enough for setting aside this weekend to be a part of this event and this writing community. The last time we gathered for this conference was June 2019, what feels like a lifetime ago. In June 2020, we canceled our in-person plans and stepped into the virtual space to host a free and open to all weekend of programming, the UnConference. Now, in 2021, we are so excited to be back at the Hyatt Regency with all of you – and also thrilled to be bringing this event to a larger audience virtually. The panels, conversations, and presentations you’ll find detailed here will cover everything from submitting to literary journals to catching an agent’s eye to writing for young people and beyond. This year, we’re introducing pre-confer- ence virtual sessions featuring published authors and their book editors, plus special In Conversation sessions with authors we admire talking with each other about compelling topics. And we’re celebrating our WLT Book Awards’ 30th anniversary on Saturday evening. (Yes, there will be cake.) For the first time ever, we’ll have in-person and virtual consultations taking place during the conference and we’ll be recording every single session and even live streaming a few. We will have limited seating in breakout rooms to keep in line with our social distancing guidelines, but you’ll receive recordings of every session once the conference concludes.

    Texas Book Festival Announces 2019 Library Grant Recipients

    Texas Book Festival Announces 2019 Library Grant Recipients Organization Awards $100,500 to 41 Public Libraries Across Texas, surpassing $3.1 M›illion donated to Texas Libraries. AUSTIN, TX (EMBARGOED until April 18, 2019) - The Texas Book Festival announced the winners of its 2019 Texas Library Grants at the Texas Library Association conference in Austin today. Forty-one public libraries across 36 Texas counties received grants totaling $100,500. TBF’s Texas Library Grants support collection enhancements which allow public libraries to meet the unique and varied needs of their communities by updating, improving, and expanding the variety of the books offered to their patrons. Enriching Community Libraries With Grant Funds The 2019 grants target a mix of needs in communities across the state. Several libraries will use their 2019 Texas Book Festival grant will expand their collection of Spanish and bilingual books—such as the Brookshire Pattinson Library in Waller County, which requested Spanish-language books for all ages to meet a demand for new books in Spanish as parents are inspired by their kids’ love of reading. Denison Library's grant is focused on diversifying their collections by adding more books by multicultural authors. “Our patrons have little access to books by Native American authors, and with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma less than 20 miles away, we realize our book collection was completely inadequate in this area,” says Kimberly Murray, Library Director at Denison Library. “Our collection should reflect and serve the needs and interests of everyone that comes through the doors.” Murray also plans to add more books by and featuring Latinx, African American, and Muslim people in the library’s continued efforts to combat prejudice.
