Dearest readers,
I hope you haven’t forgotten that the NYC Teen Author Festival starts tomorrow. The first event will be a seminar called “First Draft to Final Draft – Talking About the Writing Process,” at 6 p.m. at the Tompkins Square Branch of the New York Public Library. Lots of cool writers will be there; full details are over at the FaceBook page, but here a few names jumped out at me: Daphne Grab, author of Alive and Well in Prague, New York — loved that book! — will be speaking. So will Natalie Standiford, whose recent book How to Say Goodbye in Robot is seriously awesome. Blake Nelson, one of my heroes, and the author of the 90s grunge rock masterpiece Girl, will also be on the panel. And so will a whole big bunch of other great authors.
I will be attempting to attend just about every event, and I’ll be taking photos and blogging about the events after the fact. So check back here late tomorrow night for an update.
And if you make it to the events, please do come over and introduce yourself! If anyone is interested in writing a guest post about the festival, please do e-mail me!
Much love,
brina
