Three Cities in Seven Days: Scenes from the Road

Whew - I'm on my way to the train station and bound for home at last. Here's some of what the last week looked like. You can find other shots photographer Noah Schaffer - on my facebook page. (Thank you, Noah!) But this is what I managed with my camera.

Events! Events! Events! Join me in Las Vegas, New York City or Washington DC

I've recently had several glorious weeks filled with family, local friends, beautiful spring weather and time to write. It's been wonderful. BUT, I will be hitting the road again soon and I so hope to see you in one of my upcoming events. If you're near Las Vegas on May 29th and 30th, join Padma Venkatraman, Phil Bildner and me at the 2019 Summit on Teaching YA Literature at the University of Nevada. Next up, I'll be jetting to New York City for this year's ever-popular BookCon on June 1st! Join Tracey Baptiste, Soman Chainani, Raina Telgemeier and me for a conversation about the very best in middle grade. Soon after, I will be in the best company with my friends and well-respected authors Elizabeth Acevedo and Robin Benway for an evening conversation at Politics & Prose Bookstore at the Wharf. We'll chat about our writing and how our personal experiences and recent awards have influenced our work. See you there? Check out my calendar of events for more details and other upcoming dates. Until then, I'll have my head down working and enjoying my family and, of course, taking long walks with Hugo.

Want a Good School Visit? Introducing The Author Village

If you're a writer who does school visits, you know that planning details can be a killer. I've been handling most of this myself, with some good help from Candlewick in fielding requests when they first come in. But often I've felt completely overloaded by the job of organizing all that goes into making a worthwhile trip for both kids and authors. Book orders, topics, itineraries, logistics– it's easy for important things to get overlooked. So today, I'm so happy to announce that I've joined a new venture with one of my favorite authors, Phil Bildner. Check out The Author Village, where you can get info about bringing me or several other authors and illustrators to your school this year. You'll recognize some names and a few will be brand new, but we're all here to do the same: make reading and writing at your school something that's memorable. Here's to a good new school year filled with great books to discover! Cariños de, Meg
