Teen authors - EXPOSED!

Last weekend was the Biggest Teen Author Signing EVER at the amazing Books of Wonder bookstore here in New York City.  There were sooo many authors there - almost 40! - and tons of teens and parents and grown up teen author fans.  It was crazy crowded, but crazy fun.

I ate a yummy lunch before hand with authors Coe Booth (who wrote the books Tyrell and Kendra), Sara Darer Littman (who wrote the book Purge), and Megan McCafferty (who's book Perfect Fifths comes out oh so soon - but not soon enough!)  We ate cookies (cookies are EXTREMELY important to teen authors!) and talked about the new books we're all working on. Being a writer can get lonely, that's why getting together with other writers is so important.  It reminds you that you're not alone in this, and that other people are battling through characters and plot just like you are.

Here is a link with a ton of pictures from the signing.  If you've ever been curious as to what you're favorite teen authors would look like after being nearly trampled by rabid fans (erm, what I mean is after being asked for autographs by extremely well-behaved teens waiting in orderly lines), take a look!

I'm going to try and update this blog much more often, even though it's still a bit under the radar.  So if you're reading this, please comment!  Let me know I'm not just shouting into the dark :)
