Kids Heart Authors Day Will Spread Literary Love at New England Indie Bookstores...

Lately it seems all the publishing news is, if not bad, at the very least distressing or confusing. Acquisition freezes, layoffs, restructuring. I was happy to see something positive reported in PW: Kids Heart Authors Day, a New England Valentine's Day event cooked up my Mitali Perkins and friends that will connect readers with authors and their books and boost independent booksellers.

Check out the Kids Heart Authors Day site to see the impressive list of bookstores and authors participating.

any GOOD news is worth checking into. I'll zip right over.

Thanks for the shout about what's turning into a great big Author-Indie Lovefest. Talk about sharing the love! We're getting more and more authors, illustrators and stores signing up each day - will keep you posted and let you know the final list come mid-January. Until then.

Alice, this is super cool, so I put it on my new blog too. Man, makes me wish I was in New England. Deborah, any chance we could go viral with this? Do it in the Pacific Northwest too? I'll help. I know a few authors and indies here. GREAT idea.
