Chicago book fair fun

Today marked the 32nd annual Children's Book Fair in Chicago, where readers of all ages came to celebrate stories. It was beyond inspiring! I signed copies of two titles from ELLIE ULTRA and met so many fans of our super girl. The books were graciously sponsored by generous local businesses.

Hugs go out to Ellie's readers, plus my heartfelt appreciation to those who give kids the power to read!

Literary agent insight

Are you a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators? If you are, you've probably seen this month's SCBWI Insight. It includes a great interview with Kelly Sonnack, a senior agent at Andrea Brown Literary Agency. If you want to know what catches her eye in manuscripts, check out the interview here: http://www.scbwi.org/scbwi-exclusive-with-kelly-sonnack-agent-andrea-brown-literary/. Kelly is truly stellar to work with--this I know for a fact. She represents me, and I couldn't be luckier.
