My panels at SOKY on April 20 and 21!

This week, I'll be attending the Southern Kentucky Book Festival and participating in two panel discussions about young adult literature. I'm super excited to attend. For one thing, I've never been to Kentucky and for another, I've never been invited to a book festival so this is a major thing for me on both counts!

SOKY will be located at the Knicely Conference Center on the South Campus of Western Kentucky University, 2355 Nashville Road, Bowling Green, KY 42101. And it's FREE!

The first panel I'm on is Friday, August 20th, 9:00-9:50am: "IRL? Contemporary Fiction" will be held in the Regency Room. I'll be there with authors Courtney Stevens, Mike Mullin, Cat Kim Savage, & Helene Dunbar.

This first day is called Children's Day and the festival will be open from 9AM-2PM. There are so many wonderful panels and workshops being held throughout the day.

The second panel is on Saturday, August 21st, 1:00-1:50pm: "Out of This World (Young Adult Fantasy and Sci-Fi Panel)" will be in Room 163C. This panel will feature Melissa Landers, Sharon Cameron, Olivia A. Cole and Michael Moreci.

This second day is not just for kid and teen lit but also for more general fiction and nonfiction. Check out the day's events here:

Also on Friday will be a Meet the Author reception, which will be a great time to chat! Register for this online by Monday, 4/16! I'll be there and I would love to hang out with you!

Illustrator Loren Long is just one of the many people you could meet there. He illustrated the beautiful and touching LOVE written by Matt de la Pena as well as OF THEE I SING, written by President Barack Obama.

Hope you can make it. (Did I mention this festival is FREE? It is!)
