Decatur Book Festival, Here I Come!



Hi All!

What are you doing over Labor Day weekend this year? How about a trip to Decatur, Georgia for some literary delights? With categories ranging from fiction to journalism, food & cooking to feminism, the Decatur Book Festival will have authors and literature in attendance for every reader.

I'll be on the Children's Stage, which will also host lots of folks you've heard of~ Jeanne Birdsall (The Penderwicks series), Ingrid Law (Savvy, Scumble, and the upcoming Switch), Adam Gidwitz (Dark and Grimm series), Gennifer Choldenko (Al Capone series, Chasing Secrets), Rodman Philbrick (The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg and Freak the Mighty), and lots more! (full children's author list HERE)

MY APPEARANCE:

One month from today, on Sunday, September 6th, I'll be on the Children's Stage with MEG CABOT (!!!), author of The Princess Diaries and many other books. I just read her new MG Princess Diaries spinoff, From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess and loved it. Here's some information about our session:

Happily Ever After
Children's Stage at Decatur Recreation Center presented by Decatur Education Foundation

Sunday, 3:45-4:15

Sometimes, life takes unexpected twists and turns! Meg Cabot (From The Notebooks of a Middle School Princess) and Jessica Lawson (Nooks and Crannies) weave tales of ordinary girls finding extraordinary adventure!

    1. Y'All Fest sounds fun! I'll try to get some pics~ I'm the only person I know with a flip phone (with a really bad camera), so I'll need to make sure I don't forget a camera.

  5. What a great opportunity. And if they have a rule against selfies, just go for it. The most they can do is set the dogs on you.

  6. Cheers to you! How exciting! I wish I could be there - you'll be on the east coast, but not quite close enough. (and I'll be at a soccer tournament). I wish you much luck and fun. We hope you'll share about your experience here on the blog. ;)
