2010 NYC Teen Author Festival
The 2010 NYC Teen Author Festival is this week!
Organized by the always-awesome David Levithan, the festival runs from March 15-21, features 70+ YA authors, and includes readings, panels, and signings all over New York City. You can see the full schedule here.
I'll be participating in two of the events:
FRIDAY, MARCH 19TH

New York Public Library (South Court, 42nd Street -- the one with the lions)
2:10 - 3:00 "Using Genre to Tell the True Story of Adolescence" with:

Sara Shepard

Robin Wasserman
SUNDAY, MARCH 21ST
NYC Teen Author Festival Signing
Books of Wonder (18 West 18th Street)
2:00 - 5:45 Massive Book Signing
We will be signing in shifts. I'll be signing at 2:45 - 3:30 with:
Tom Dolby
Heather Duffy-Stone
Sarah Beth Durst
Elizabeth Eulberg
Gayle Forman
Aimee Friedman
Jenny Han
Alice Hoffman
Carla Jablonksi
Melissa Kantor
Kristen Kemp

David Levithan
I'm very, very excited about this. The signing on Sunday is at one of my all-time favorite bookstores and will include more authors than you can shake a stick at. (Not that you should be shaking sticks at authors. That would be an odd thing to do.) And the panel discussion on Friday is at the main building of the New York Public Library.
When I found this out, I said to my husband, "It's at the one with the lions! Yay! I'm so excited! Lions!"
My husband said, "That's great!" He paused. "Wait. You're expecting the lions to talk, aren't you?"
"Of course not!" I said.
"Good," he said.
"I'm expecting them to sing."

"I'm expecting them to sing."
The theme song for Between the Lions popped into my head as soon as I read this.:)
AHHHH!!!! Why do I have to live SO FAR from NYC!?!!?
Wish I could be there on Sunday! I'll be recovering from a Saturday night gig and (heaven help me!) teaching an early morning kickboxing class.
On a side note, I did extra work on an episode of Between The Lions (I knew the woman who played/voiced Cleo). SO. MUCH. FUN.
Please contribute a list of your 10 favorite poems to my poem survey. Read more about it here: http://www.semicolonblog.com/?p=9520

Also, when you were talking about between the lions, the theme song popped up in my head. :)
