The Early Career Committee (ECC) of the Children's Book Council creates dynamic programming to benefit the entire publishing staff community, focusing on those in their first five years in the industry. Our events range from the industry-wide annual Trivia Challenge to the intimate gatherings of the Publishing Luminaries series.
If you are an employee of a CBC member publisher and you would like to be added to the ECC mailing list, please e-mail rebecca.miller@cbcbooks.org.
