So! Events!
ASCENDIO 2012
Orlando, FL
July 12-15, 2012
This Harry Potter fan conference is much more than just Harry Potter.
This year, they're doing a Quill Track, a series of workshops specifically for writers. I honestly believe that if you're a writer who can feasibly come to this conference, this is one to definitely attend. Totally worthwhile. The programming looks amazing.
REALM OF THE UNKNOWN
Irving, TX
July 19, 2012
Other authors in attendance:
-Andrea Cremer
-Marie Lu
-Jackson Pearce
-Rosemary Clement-Moore
2pm: Realm of the Unknown Party (open to teens only)
7pm: YA Author Panel and Signing
Irving, TX has a fantastic library system. You should absolutely check them out and see what cool things they are doing--not just on July 19 (I hope you come!) but also throughout the summer.
BOOK PEOPLE SIGNING
Austin, TX
July 21, 2012
Other authors in attendance:
-PJ Hoover
-KA Holt
Signing at the Book People bookstore is one of those nerdy book dreams I've held onto for awhile. My friend PJ Hoover has signed there before, and the pictures I've seen of her events make me want to run to the store and just explore. So I'm especially excited to sign there with her and KA Holt!
TEENS READ ART CONTEST
Online!
Opening July 21, 2012
This online contest is a great idea--a way for teens to celebrate any book through art (art of any kind--painting, photography, or more). Basically, a teen submits a digital photograph of a work of art, and could win $50 book gift card, signed books, and more! Be sure to check it out and encourage the teens in your life to celebrate art with art!

Oh, man. A Harry Potter AND a writers conference? What could be better than that?
I'll be at Ascendio this year for sure and can't wait for the Quill Track program!! There really is so much awesome planned. The only way it could be better is if my book were coming out this fall instead of next. This one would be so cool to have a book at. BUT will still toast everyone else with loads of Butterbeer. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Those are some great events. Wish I could go. :-)
I wish you were coming to California! ;)
