Topic 18 -- Making It Easy to Stay in Touch



Part 1, Sandy:  

"Do you know (fill in your favorite author's name here)?"  That's a question I'm often asked by children when I visit schools -- and by adults as well. Sometimes, the answer is "Yes," but, often, it's "No, our paths haven't crossed yet."  I then explain that authors tend to work by themselves, usually in their own homes, and if we meet one another at all, it's usually at the kind of event where readers can meet us as well -- school and library programs, book signings, literature festivals, that sort of thing.

One place where David and I have met many wonderful authors is the annual Children's Literature Festival in Warrensburg, MO. But the cast has changed over the years, and we're not seeing some of those folks as often as we'd like.  So, David has created a list of our colleagues with contact information to keep us all in touch.  As with those other public meetings, readers are invited to use this list as well.  All of the authors are still creating terrific books, plays, and poems for you to enjoy, and they're still out on the road from time to time, presenting their exciting programs at schools, libraries, book stores, festivals, and so on.  Want to meet them?  Invite them to a program near you!

Here's David's list, an excellent resource for doing just that.

Part 2, David:

Hello to all our friends who have met us at past Warrensburg’s Children’s Literature Festivals. We’ve loved being with the kids, teachers, and parents who attend that wonderful event. As we move on to make room for other authors and artists, we don’t want to lose touch with you! Here’s who we are and how you can continue to follow us and our work or get in touch for conference appearances and school visits.

Collectively, we’ve written or illustrated hundreds of your favorite books and visited with young people all over the United States and beyond. Although some of our out of print books are hard to find these days, they are worth the effort! The list of honors our work has received would fill pages, but our purpose here is to make it easier for you to find us. You are an important part of our lives. We look forward to staying in touch.
