DESCRIPTION:*How do we move children’s fantasy fiction beyond wands and 
 wizards?* In this interactive presentation\, author/educator Zetta Elliott

 od consuming British fantasy fiction\, Elliott began to decolonize her ima

 demand technology transfers power from the industry’s gatekeepers to tho
 se excluded from the publishing process.
