Today’s podcast guest is a multi-published author, book columnist, guest host on CBC’s q, and founder and Executive Director for the Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD). Her latest release, GUTTER CHILD, is a dystopian story of courage and resilience that arrived last January with HarperCollins Canada. 

Can you guess who it is? 

That’s right, Jael Richardson joins the Hope Prose family alumni to talk about her debut novel GUTTER CHILD, racism and its many forms, what makes a YA book vs. Adult, the systems that make us, and how we can do and be better at breaking them down, and how important diversity is in literature--especially YA and Middle Grade.
