…So that’s three chances to come get a copy of 17 & Gone the week it comes out, hear me read, and get the book signed.
Check out the NYC Teen Author Festival page for the full schedule running all week—and featuring more than 90 authors!
And just a note: I won’t be having a launch event for 17 & Gone, so if you’re in New York City and want to hear me read and get a signed book, you should come to one of the Teen Author Festival events! That’s your only chance… unless you accost me in the street like I did to the poor UPS man yesterday.
