Kidlit Event

Unless my husband and I are catching a Broadway show, we NEVER go to midtown. But last night I walked around Times Square for a bit before Kidlit Drink Night. The area was packed as usual, but the energy is intoxicating. And despite the freezing weather, even the Naked Cowboy was out and about with his guitar!

So last night was my first time attending Kidlit Drink Night, and this one was held here in midtown. I knew some people there (from my critique group/weekly Write Nite), but also met lots of writers, students, editors, etc. It was a blast talking about craft, books and industry news. I'm really looking forward to the next one!

I absolutely love living in Manhattan. It truly feels like I'm on the pulse of the literary scene. Last week, I attended three Teen Author Festival events (voice panel, reading/performance, author signings) and found them so inspiring. If you're an NYC-based writer or illustrator, drop me a line or find me on Twitter if you hear about interesting upcoming events!

So good to see you back!

I really must visit NYC someday. I've never been, but it really must happen.
