West Hollywood Book Fair 2010


Day/Time: Sunday, September 26, 10AM - 6PM
Where: West Hollywood Park, San Vicente Blvd, West Hollywood, CA
Who: AWESOME AUTHORS AND DANCERS AND BLOGGERS AND PERFORMERS!

This year I am on the teen stage subcommittee so I had some input on the events on the stage - which was both a lot of pressure and a lot of fun! I was able to bring some friends in who are local authors to present live "book trailers," a blogger named Ashley Thompson from Oregon to interview some big-name authors, my ballet company to perform "Alice in Wonderland," and I also helped put some people on panels. Oh yeah, and I'm coordinating the Los Angeles Young Adult Authors (LAYA) booth with Sally Nemeth. Whew!

It's still a month away but we are working very hard to put these events together and I think it's going to be a terrific day. I will post the schedule of events soon but if anyone wants more info so they can plan their visit, go to the Book Fair web site.

you are the first person i know of who has ever been a member of any "teen stage subcommittee," so congratulations.

you sound like a busy bee. or, a busy "c.", to be accurate.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm sure the LA teens will love it.

bookfraud, I guess that could be taken in a couple of ways - "teen stage" meaning the physical stage or "teen stage" like adolescence - I'm there on both counts. :)

Liviania - wish you could be there!!

Your ballet company is performing!?!?! Man, I want to see that. Alice in Wonderland, too. I have lots of homework to do still.

Rachel, I know! There are tons of great things happening there, like your awesome panel. :)
