If you live near anywhere near New York City (and you're 21 or over), you should definitely be going to this:

When: Friday, January 27th, 8pm.
Where: Public House (www.publichousenyc.com) on East 41st Street between Lexington and Third Avenue.
Who: All the cool people! Seriously, this is the one night only hot spot for editors, agents, authors, SCBWI-goers, and generally interesting book people.
Plus, the FNC will be there! We'll make sure we have on super-cool name tags. And maybe we'll break out our FNC tote bags for the occasion.
Here's a recap of our Kid Lit experience two years ago. And the year before that, before this blog even existed, Frankie and I went with the sole intent of stalking Cheryl Klein. And we did. For twenty minutes. Until we realized that we were actually stalking a random blonde woman who was NOT Cheryl Klein, or even involved in the book world in any way. (We did, however, eventually find Cheryl and had a great conversation with her.)
And then, if you're around, you might just be going to SCBWI New York this weekend. I am! I'll be there on the front lines representing the FNC this year, listening to some awesome authors like Cassandra Clare, plus tons of super-cool editors and agents.
Not sure if I can make the Kid Lit Drink Night (supposed to meet up with my friend/host around then) but I am SO psyched for SCBWI. It's my very first!
ReplyDeleteThere's something really amusing about a bunch of children's and YA authors/agents all getting sloshed together. There's a story in that, just waiting to be written!
ReplyDeleteHAVE FUN!!!!!!
