A proposito di questo titolo
Sam shares his journey from a working-class background to becoming a self-published author, publisher, and advocate for inclusive children’s literature. Together, Orla and Sam discuss why representation matters in books for children, the barriers faced by LGBTQ+ authors and marginalised voices in publishing, and how small independent publishers are often the ones taking the biggest creative risks.
This episode dives into:
- Inclusive children’s books and why representation matters
- LGBTQ+ visibility in publishing and education
- Neurodiversity, adoption, single-parent families, and belonging
- Writing from lived experience and authentic storytelling
- Climate themes in children’s literature
- The realities of running a purpose-led publishing house
- Book bans, censorship, and the future of inclusive publishing
Sam also speaks candidly about his much-loved book Where Björn Belongs, writing autistic and neurodivergent characters with care, and how children’s books can foster empathy, understanding, and belonging in classrooms and homes.
