First, a news item--Registration for Kidlitcon 2015 is now open! If the thought of a not overwhelmingly large gathering of people passionate about reading and talking about children's and YA books appeals, full of blogging introverts (and occasional extroverts to add spice), full of authors that's you'll actually have a chance to talk to, appeals (and how could it not?) come to Baltimore this October! And if there is a topic you would just love to talk to other kidlit bloggers about, submit a session proposal or an idea for one!
(nb: helpful travel tip-- Southwest Airlines flies into Baltimore, but doesn't show up in Travelocity)
Of special interest to us mg spec fic fans--Tracy Babtiste (The Jumbies) will be a keynote speaker!
In any event, here's this week's round-up; please let me know if I missed your post!
