An exciting conference is being held in New York City this year. The NCTE, National Council of Teachers of English, and ALAN, its teen division, will be hosting publishers' booths at Jacob Javits Center, and holding tons of amazing panel discussions at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. I'm not sure if any of the other Simon Pulse RoCom authors will be attending -- please comment on this post if you are!
Here is my schedule of events:
On Friday, 11/16, from 4-5, at the Scholastic Booth at Jacob Javits, I'll be signing copies of the sparkly short story collection, 21 PROMS, along with an all-star line-up of teen authors: Holly Black, Libba Bray, Rachel Cohn, Daniel Ehrenhaft, David Levithan, E. Lockhart, Leslie Margolis, Sarah Mlynowski, Lisa Ann Sandell, Adrienne Maria Vrettos. The best part is, there will be balloons, punch, music, and perhaps you'll see some of us authors in our prom finery!
On Saturday, 11/17, from 3-4 p.m., I'll be signing at the Scholastic Booth at Jacob Javits, alongside...gulp...the great Brian Selznick! I am such a huge fan of his, AND he is the nicest guy...I know I will be very humbled in his presence.
Finally, on Tuesday, 11/20, I'll be giving a panel talk on graphic novels at the Marriott, at 11:30, along with Mark Siegel, editor-in-chief of First Second Books (the graphic novel imprint of Roaring Brook Press), and George O'Connor, an acclaimed artist.
I hope lots of people show up to support this great event promoting literature and literacy.
See you there!

So exciting, Aimee, and I wish I could be there. I will be there in spirit! Unfortunately, in body, I will probably still be napping...
(just kidding; I'm actually paying a maternity leave visit to a friend tomorrow).
Aimee, I hope you get a big crowd for your talk today!
Thanks, Jenn! I DID get a big crowd (teachers and librarians are sooo wonderfully passionate!), but I was LATE (cursed traffic and rain)...which was actually good because I was so focused on dashing across the room to get to my spot at the table and catch my breath that I forgot to be nervous!
