queensthiefMegan will be appearing at a seminar in Boston in October, sponsored by The Horn Book and Simmons College. Registration gets you a one-day colloquium and admission to the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards ceremony, where Megan will receive an Honor award for A Conspiracy of Kings.
The colloquium is mostly for teachers, librarians and children's publishing people, but also for " anyone with a passion for children’s and young adult literature" which is, obviously, all of us.
You can find more info about registration here. Gah, it sounds pretty awesome.

how is SFT treating you?
the sweet far thing
Date: 8/13/10 09:11 pm (UTC)It's waaaayyyy too long. Hello, editor? Where were you? Enough is happening to keep my interest, which is saying something since I seem to have the attention span of a flea these days. AND someone *coughthelasteddiscough* dropped a major spoiler in another sounis post a couple of days ago. In her defense, she had no idea I just happened to be reading it right now, but...
Now I'm waiting for that to happen.
*sob*

Date: 8/13/10 09:18 pm (UTC)also: I feel like a lot of the things in this book could have been slipped into the earlier books, thus cutting it down AND helping me finally nail down Gemma's actions, say, a third of the way through this third book.
but it does have large chunks of lovable sections.
also, I am not convinced there are any editors out there in the world anymore. :-(
