- It’s been a week for graphic treatment! First, Warner Brothers released a new poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II:
- Then, the cover for Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter (the sequel to The Goddess Test) was spotted at BEA:
Carter then tweeted the tagline for Goddess Interrupted: “What if immortality isn’t forever?” And some back cover copy: “Kate Winters has won immortality. But if she wants a life with Henry in the Underworld, she’ll have to fight for it.” – GODDESS INTERRUPTED”
- YA/MG icon (and author of Speak and Wintergirls) is offering a FULL MANUSCRIPT CRITIQUE (plus some free books) to help out victims of the Joplin, MO, tornado. When you donate, you’re entered into the drawing. Use the #lhacritique hashtag to follow the event.
- Kimberly Pauley (Sucks to Be Me & Still Sucks to Be Me) released an adult short story called Killing Harry. It’s geared toward adults, but there’s nothing inappropriate in it for teens. It’s a great example to study on how to pack as much as possible into a few pages.
And last but not least, Sara was at BEA (Book Expo America) this week in New York City hobnobbing with other bookish types. Vania Stoyanova (VLCPhoto, @reverieBR) tweeted this photo of the two of them after a long–but fun– day. Look for lots of fun posts to come out of this trip!
