Awards! and mailing lists
January 22, 2007
I have a mailing list! No plans, actually to mail anything right away --
but when a new book comes out
(Dramarama! The Mlynowski-Myracle Girlie project! Twenty-One Proms! Something I am finishing that doesn't have a title!!)
you will know up front.
You'll also know about:
new excerpts posted to my website,
contests
tour dates in your area
and other stuff.
You can sign up on my home page. Oh, and this person who writes picture books has a mailing list, too, if you're interested.
And now -- MUCH MORE IMPORTANT NEWS!
The other day, John Green asked me, whom do I think should win the Printz award? And I said, actually being sincere, "You, John." And he won the honor!! Woohooo! I loved An Abundance of Katherines a lot. Here is VIDEO of him winning.
The other Honor Books and the winner I have yet to read, but I have much loved books by Zuzak and Anderson so I am excited to dig in:
Octavian Nothing
Surrender
Book Thief
WINNER: American Born Chinese
Oh, and my online compatriot Cynthia Lord won a Newbery honor and the Schneider award for Rules!
