3. March Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar

To my knowledge, we only had one storm cancellation in February. Since I'm working on this post during the tail end of another snowstorm (Look at the snow blowing past my window!), I should probably suggest that you check with venues if there is any doubt of a March event being cancelled because of the weather.

CCLC News--Starting this month, the Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar is available in a newsletter form. Connecticut residents interested in being added to the newsletter e-mail list may contact me at [email protected]

Sun., March 1, Jane Sutcliffe, UConn Coop, Storrs 3:00 PM

Mon., March 2, Leslie Bulion, Durham Public Library, Durham 7:00 PM. Book launch

Thurs., March 5, 12, 19, and 26 (continuing into April) Pegi Deitz Shea, Mark Twain House, Hartford 6 to 8 PM Class on writing children's books. Fee.

4. February Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar

A so-so month for author events. Note that we have more library events than bookstore. I've been seeing this kind of thing over the last year.

Sun., Feb. 1, Lynda Mullaly Hunt, West Hartford Public Library, Bishops Corner
Branch 2 to 4:30 PM  Please note that this event is at the Bishops Corner Branch, NOT the Noah Webster. The site was changed.

6. Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar Update

A New Haven Launch Party is being held for The Great CT Caper. The location is the Peabody Museum, the date is Wednesday, January 28th, and the time is 5:00 to 7:00 PM. This is an adults only event for educators, librarians, and parents to meet The Caper authors and illustrators. There is no admission, and light refreshments and wine will be served.  It does look as if this is a ticketed event.

9. December Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar

I apologize for the unfinished nature of next month's calendar. No images, and I haven't completed all the links. What I have done is come down with another post event illness. In 2013 I was sick for six weeks after the NESCBWI conference  and for a month after Christmas. Last night I got blasted with fever, chills, ya-da-ya-da-ya-da, two days after Thanksgiving.

I think it's more important to get the basic information out than it is to make it look perfect, so I'm publishing this as is. I'll come back and edit this when my fingers don't hurt and I'm not working from bed with a laptop truly on my lap.

24. November Connecticut Children's Literature Calendar Update: Not Your Mother's Road to Publication

I missed this event while pulling together this month's Connecticut Children's Lit Calendar. This post should turn up when accessed through the Connecticut Children's Lit Calendar link to your left.

Nov. 16, 1:30 to 3:30, Not Your Mother's Road to Publication: Hear a panel of authors discuss the traditional and non-traditional routes they took to get published. Moderator Laura Toffler-Corrie, author of The Life and Opinions of Amy Finawitz and the newly released, My Totally Awkward Supernatural Crush, will discuss traditional publishing and obtaining an agent. Sari Bodi, author of The Ghost in Allie’s Pool, will talk about working with a small press. Mary Beth Bass, author of Everything You Know, will discuss publishing an e-book. Elizabeth Yu-Gesualdi, author of Broken Road, will talk about the self-publication process. For teens and adults.

Event will take place at the Harry Bennett Library in Stamford

As it turns out, I met Sari Bodi years ago at the Rabbit Hill Festival. That was back when there still was a Rabbit Hill Festival. Sari is part of the ever increasing pool of people with whom I've had lunch.
