NYC Teen Author Festival
Last week I got to meet with wonderful creative writers and listen to some of my heroes talk about writing at the #NYCTAF - it was fairly epic. Each author was more sparkly and entertaining than the next and I left soaring on wings of inspiration. But my very favorite part was watching YA authors interacting with actual young adults. That's the part I really get. Telling young adults, "I see you." Letting them know, "What you are feeling is important. What you are going through is important. You are important."
It's pretty much the coolest job. Oh, and hey look, I happened to run into Stephen Chbosky in the hallway. Dude is a straight-up rockstar.
