The most excellent David Levithan, author and editor extraordinaire, has organized a positively inspired celebration of young adult fiction, which will take place all over New York City from Monday, March 16th through Sunday March 22nd. I will be attending many events and will be featured in two: On Thursday, March 19th, from 4-5PM, I’ll be reading from Cycler at the Jefferson Market Branch of the New York Public Library, which is located at 425 Avenue of the Americas (between 9th Street and 10th Street). Then on Sunday, March 22nd, starting at 4PM, I’ll be signing copies of Cycler, along with 40 other authors, at the legendary Books Of Wonder, which is located at 18 West 18th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues). HERE’S THE COMPLETE SCHEDULE: Juvenalia Smackdown Join Holly Black, Alaya Johnson, Justine Larbalestier, David Levithan, Diana Peterfruend, Scott Westerfeld as they read some of their (ahem) less accomplished work from their middle school and high school years. Hosted by Libba Bray. I Have Seen the Future and It Sounds Like This Teen authors are notoriously stingy about reading from their works-in-progress. But for Guest of Honor Joe Monti, authors Libba Bray, Rachel Cohn, Eireann Corrigan, Justine Larbalestier, Barry Lyga, and Scott Westerfeld are willing to share a little bit from their future books. Hosted by David Levithan. The Five-Borough Read BROOKLYN: Central Library, Dweck Center, 10 Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn BRONX: Bronx Library Center, 310 E. Kingsbridge Road, Bronx MANHATTAN: Countee Cullen Branch, 104 W 136th St MANHATTAN: Jefferson Market Branch, 425 Avenue of the Americas MANHATTAN: Webster Branch, 1465 York Avenue Lisa Ann Sandell QUEENS: Far Rockaway Branch, 2002 Cornaga Ave, Queens STATEN ISLAND: St. George Library Center, 5 Central Avenue Rock Out with TIGER BEAT! By day, Libba Bray, Daniel Ehrenhaft, Barney Miller, and Natalie Standiford are upstanding authors. But by night, they turn into TIGER BEAT, the first ever YA author rock band. Tonight is their debut public performance and it’s sure to go down in legend. With opening act The Infinite Playlists (Rachel Cohn and David Levithan reading a litany of musical references, but mercifully not singing). I Love You, New York: Teen Lit in the City Join authors Coe Booth, Paul Griffin, Maureen Johnson, David Levithan, Cecily von Ziegesar, and Rita Williams-Garcia in a spirited reading and discussion about teen novels set in New York City–from the glamour of the gossip girls to the grit of the Bronx projects, from the everyday battles of the high school halls to the extraordinary events of 9/11. Stuff for the Teen Age Ceremony This new list only has the best of the best, and includes books, music, movies, and video games. Featuring a keynote by Walter Dean Myers Teen Authors Celebrate Teen Readers Over a dozen authors salute teen readers and teen advisory board members from around the city, including Blake Nelson, reading from his upcoming novel Destroy All Cars.
