Saturday, January 16, 2010 from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM (ET)
Coming to Boston for the ALA Midwinter conference? If you're a tweeting librarian, author, illustrator, publisher, agent, editor, reviewer, blogger, or anyone interested in children's and YA lit, join us! Talk social media, chat about books, share program ideas, meet the people you've been re-tweeting, listing, and following, see old friends.
We'll have a BOOK SWAP too -- so authors and publishers, bring a copy of your book(s) to display and share. This way, the great Kid/YA Lit book community can continue interacting after our tweet-up's over.
Invite your friends, too, but our capacity is 150, so register here and save your spot. Cash bar.
Not on Twitter yet? Sign up. It's fast and easy (here are some tips to getting started).
And no need to worry about New England winter weather, the Birch Bar is in the Westin Waterfront hotel connected to the convention center!
Mitali Perkins (@mitaliperkins) is the author of several novels, including SECRET KEEPER (Delacorte) and RICKSHAW GIRL (Charlesbridge). She's taught NESCBWI classes on author branding and online promotion at annual conferences, and loves to share lessons about online promotion learned from mistakes made, but risks taken as well. www.mitaliperkins.com; www.mitaliblog.com.
Deborah Sloan (@dsloanandco) centers her professional life on connecting books and authors with their readers through her marketing and promotion firm Deborah Sloan and Company, her Picnic Basket blog for teachers and librarians, and the newly created KidsBuzz, a program that lets authors speak directly to their readers via notes distributed in high-profile e-newsletters. www.deborahsloanandcompany.com; www.authorbuzz.com/kids; www.thepicnic-basket.com
