NYC Teen Author Festival & Charlottesville  
Okay! I finally have my schedule for the NYC Teen Author Festival. I'm really delighted to be a part of it, because last year I just ogled the participants and wished I could be there as a reader. Now I get to be there in a slightly more professional capacity (I say "slightly more" because there is no word that describes me less than "professional" in any situation). Anyway, here's when I'll be there:

Friday, March 19th, from 2:10-3:00, I will be on a panel "Using Genre To Tell the True Story of Adolescence" (I believe this means, why unicorns have better coming of age stories) with Judy Blundell, Sarah Beth Durst, Lauren McLaughlin, Diana Peterfreund, Sara Shepard, and Robin Wasserman.

And then on Sunday, March 21st, from 2-:245 I will be signing at Books of Wonder along with a helluva lot of other authors including Libba Bray and Judy Blundell. There will be even more authors coming in after that, for a total of something insane like 70 authors. So if you're in NYC and want to get an almost obscene number of signatures, this is the place to be. All the details are at the link above.

And then, a week before (I know I'm doing this out of order) on the 13th, I'll be at the Charlottesville, Virginia, Barnes & Noble from 1-3 p.m. Just signing and doing my thing.

For UK'ers, it's looking very much like I will be there in the UK in October of this year. And I will be touring for Linger at the end of July, and rumor has it the West Coast will be getting some loving. I will post other appearances as I get 'em and I'm updating my website appearances page too.

Omg! I MUST go to that! I had no idea it even existed! Thankfully, I will be home that weekend, and I WILL be there!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on February 27th, 2010 09:41 pm (UTC)
It's going to be huge.
ljboldyrevljboldyrev on February 27th, 2010 10:11 pm (UTC)
Is it March yet? I'll be at the signing. And I'll be going to the Sourcebooks launch party. That sounds like fun!
I'm so excited :D

I'd love to be there but I guess I'd have to wish I can be in London in October. A bit nearer home for me. Because you aren't coming to Spain, are you? (If you say yes my kid is going to be on the line for a week before you get here and I won't forbid her to do so).
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on February 27th, 2010 09:41 pm (UTC)
No Spanish trip planned . . . . yet. >:D
lunalilalunalila on February 27th, 2010 09:50 pm (UTC)
What a pitty!
Guess I'll have to plan a trip to London then! :) (As I love London that's no real pain ;)).

I might actually be able to get to Charlottesville :) Is that on the 13th?
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on February 27th, 2010 09:40 pm (UTC)
Oh, THANK YOU! I didn't put the date. It is the 13th!
lanna_lovelylanna_lovely on February 27th, 2010 09:43 pm (UTC)
If you come to the UK, will that include Scotland? Awesome authors rarely come to the UK and when they do, their tours are usually down in England. =[

Oooh. This was fun times last year (well, I only got to go to the mega-signing, alas, but the events all seemed pretty fascinating), I might have to go again this one.
Queen of Snarkdomsisterspooky on February 27th, 2010 09:48 pm (UTC)
UUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

What fun! I would love to have Judy Blundell sign my copy of What I Saw...such a fantastic novel.
Charlottesville is terrific--have fun!
Ellz Readzelnice on February 27th, 2010 11:10 pm (UTC)
Hi Maggie, is your Cville signing the same weekend as the Festival of the Book? Never mind, previous weekend. Darn, so close, maybe next time.
tattooedbookstattooedbooks on February 27th, 2010 11:13 pm (UTC)
Can't wait 'til the 13th. So excited I feel like a teenager going to a boy band concert. How big a dork am I? :D
boothyisawesomeboothyisawesome on February 27th, 2010 11:26 pm (UTC)
I'll be at the 13th too- so excited! And this also answers my question about if you'll be at the VA Book Festival, lol. Have a fun time in NY!!
artemisgreyvale: EddieKissartemisgreyvale on February 27th, 2010 11:31 pm (UTC)
I know what I'M doing on the 13th... :D
shanasilvershanasilver on February 27th, 2010 11:50 pm (UTC)
This is why I love living 15 mins from NYC. I'm totally scheduling myself off work on the days the events start before 6pm! Looking forward!
kusanarkusanar on February 28th, 2010 02:55 am (UTC)
I will certainly try to go to the Charlottesville one ^_^ Yay for 2.5 hour road trip!!

I see you weren't feeling adventurous enough for SheVaCon this year hee hee couldn't take all the storm troopers eh? (not that I blame you, it is an incredibly sucky con)

Last time I nearly got stranded because of Evil Weather. I was Scarred for Life.
niki_nicole on February 28th, 2010 03:33 am (UTC)
I am so green right now! Is there anyway to get a transcript to that panel discussion? For my scary Senior Seminar paper in which I'm trying to convince a bunch of classic loving college professors that YA is not a waste of time and is important so they should not sneer down their noses at it. The short version of the title is A Defense of Young Adult Lit. And it sounds like your discussions would be a great source for me to use in my paper. Do you think there is a way? I mean, I would go, but I have finals, and oh yeah, I'm a broke college student living in MO. Do you realize how few authors there are in the heartland? Kind of sad really.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on April 24th, 2010 02:19 am (UTC)
Boo! Maybe me and the other Merry Sisters will do a roundtable on it. That's probably too late for you, isn't it!
Katie Writeswriterkatlc on February 28th, 2010 03:57 am (UTC)
Oh I wish I could go to the NYC Teen Author Festival. That sounds so awesome. Have fun!!
jules_world_88jules_world_88 on February 28th, 2010 04:34 am (UTC)
you so need to come to michigan, when Linger comes out. So many people here love your books, and I would love to get an autograph.
milolover1milolover1 on February 28th, 2010 09:05 am (UTC)
Have fun- I wish I could be there...
On your tour, you won't be coming to Sydney, will you?
Or even Australia in general?

Thank you Have fun :-)

I wish I lived in America
Am desperate for Linger!!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on April 24th, 2010 02:19 am (UTC)
Possibility of that next year, actually!
milolover1milolover1 on April 24th, 2010 06:03 am (UTC)
OMG

*Sigh* And the South ensues it's yearning for Maggie.
Hopefully someday the authors will come down to the Peninsula for some sun!
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on March 1st, 2010 07:36 pm (UTC)
I will actually be down in Florida in November!
songbird_90 on March 2nd, 2010 04:45 am (UTC)
You should come to Michigan sometime and do a book signing! There are many people that would love to meet you and enjoy your books :)
paparazzi_cher on March 2nd, 2010 02:17 pm (UTC)
Come To Texas
you should come to Texas, HOUSTON, to be precise, we would love for you to come, and can't wait for Linger
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on March 15th, 2010 01:46 pm (UTC)

erinlovestexaserinlovestexas on March 2nd, 2010 06:10 pm (UTC)

Texas! Texas! Texas! We will shower you love and barbeque sauce. Please try to convince the beautiful people in publishing to send you on out this way.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on April 24th, 2010 02:20 am (UTC)

I'm going to read UK as 'London'. As that is usually the case. : ) If someone ever visits near Manchester or Liverpool I will probably faint. Though it takes very little to get an over dramatic response from me, i'll admit. Hehe. I just did another happy dance, and squeal when I caught my name on the ARC winners list again. *shakes head* Sometimes I even judge myself. Then I realise, that i'd rather be me than one of the "Sane Ones" *shudders* Normal people really frighten me.

Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on March 15th, 2010 02:12 am (UTC)
I was in Manchester when I went last year! I will lobby for it again.
Karlie Jai: Belle Engrossed In Bookgreenfaeriedust on March 15th, 2010 02:48 am (UTC)
*incoherent joy* Oh, please do so! That would be wonderful. I'm very disappointed I missed you last year, but i'll keep my fingers crossed for the future.

shiveringlots on March 6th, 2010 02:39 am (UTC)
I'd definitely be at the Charlottesville one, but that's about a 4-5 hour drive.
Stupid PLANS.
Maggie Stiefvaterm_stiefvater on March 15th, 2010 02:12 am (UTC)
