Train tickets are bought; hotels are booked; laundry is getting lower; Vivian has learned all lyrics to "Start Spreading the News" -- we're going to New York for Book Expo America! James and the kids are seeing the sights, while I get busy at the world's biggest book conference. Is anyone else going? Here's how to find Plain Kate at BEA:
- My editor Arthur Levine is presenting PLAIN KATE on the Young Adult Editor's Buzz Panel. (I'm excited about this: it's only five books and it's really getting talked up.) Wednesday, May 26, 2010 from 2:00 - 3:15 pm. Room 1E15
- I am reading from KATE on Thursday, as part of the "YA Authors of the Editor's Buzz" event, which is from 2:00 to 3:00 on the downtown stage.
- I am also signing after the reading, from 3:30 to 4:30, at table 18.
I'm excited; I finally get to meet the people from Pippin and Scholastic who have worked so hard to create this book. We've been working together for years, but this will be our first chance to raise a glass. Who else will I get to see?
