YA Literature Symposium

I have told some of you about an incredible conference I get to go to in a few weeks! It is called the "YALSA's YA Literature Symposium" and it will be in Austin, Texas. This will be a chance for me to sit in on some great seminars about YA fiction, writing, and miscellaneous teen stuff.  Below is a list of authors that will be participating. If you happen to have a book by one of these authors, and want it signed, you can drop it off at the library with my name on it, and I will try my best to get it autographed for you! No guarantees, but I'll try!
