I’ll be attending the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting at the end of next week. I am most looking forward to the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt banquet on Sunday, January 17, where I’ll be speaking with other HMH authors about our new spring 2010 books. If you know me and my book love issues, you’ll understand how excited I am to be speaking alongside:
Susan Campbell Bartoletti
Jeanne Birdsall
Beth Fantaskey
Russell Freedman
Lois Lowry
Sally Mavor
Linda Urban
There are lots of other exciting events going on at the midwinter meeting, including the ALA Youth Media Award announcements, which take place at 7:45am on Monday, January 18. So many of the books I adored this year are up for awards; best of luck to all the nominated authors!
Hope to see some of you in Boston …
