The Black Write Talent Incubator, supported by Nelvana and Kids Can Press, is a newly launched initiative to discover, support and mentor emerging Black storytellers and illustrators. Its vision is to match promising talent with industry professionals from two of Canada’s leading children’s content companies in order to develop original work.


Join this panel to learn how the Black Write Talent Incubator will give budding creators the chance to develop their work and make essential connections in the television, animation, and publishing industries. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A, so please join us!


Speakers: Athena Georgaklis (Head of Development, Nelvana), Carl Brundtland (Director, Legal Counsel, Corus Entertainment), Naseem Hrab (Associate Publisher, Creative, Kids Can Press)
