In the 21st century we are finding more and more children videotaping events. Hence the shaky video from my NYPL panel discussion: Reflections on YA. My kids took turns taping for me and petered out before the topic of diversity in YA literature – regarding book by new authors and diverse books came up. There is, however, a full audio version available.

I’ve been asked to serve as a panel participant, Reflection on YA, being held at The New York Public Library on Tuesday, October 26. If you are free to visit, do come by and say HI, since it’s free to the public.
“As Teen Read Week comes around again, join The New York Public Library for a refreshing and in-depth conversation about the state of YA publishing today. Hear from dynamic and engaging people from the literary world as they discuss the triumphs of the genre, as well as the areas for improvement. From paranormal to economic challenges and from the increasingly diverse population of Ya readers to the dominance of paranormal, find out what’s happening in the world of reading.”
On another note…
“How did it go, you ask?” My vibe says good, not, GREAT.
My book symposium that is, which was held at The Hewitt School (in NYC) last week. It’s actually taken me a full week to process all of the thoughts I have as to “how it went.” I’m sifting through my notes, the e-mails I’ve received, and quite frankly, sorting through my personal feelings. More later…
