One Sunday afternoon, at Books of Wonder, I met Cordelia Jensen, whose reputation as a writer and teacher of enormous integrity precedes her.
One recent afternoon at Penn, I sat with Melissa Jensen and we talked. So many surprising connections between us, at least two shared students, a love of story, the start of a friendship.
We write for teens because we remember being one, because we love the ones we've met along the way, because the dialogue is rich, because of the friends we make along the way.
On June 4, 2 PM, at the Penn Book Center on the Penn campus, Cordelia, Melissa, and I will be talking with teens—and with those who love them (or those who simply love a good story).
We'll be talking to each other, too.
We hope you'll join us.
We're grateful to Ashley, for hosting us. This will be the Penn Book Center's first teen event.
