I also wanted to mention I will be on a panel with my husband, Matthew Cordell, and two other authors, James Kennedy and Stephanie Kuehnert, on July 23 at 57th Street Books in Chicago's gorgeous Hyde Park (Obama's Chi-Town digs!). I don't know if the event is open to everyone or just members of SCBWI, but you can email the contact below for more information. Here's the skinny, if anyone would like to attend:
What if you're hosting a book event and nobody shows?
What if you've finally landed an editor, but she's moving houses?
Come one, come all to the next Hyde Park/South Side SCBWI event we're calling, "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" We're planning a lively panel discussion of worst-case scenarios and how to make the best of them!
Our panel of children's authors and illustrators will share their worst-case scenarios and pass along what they did to get themselves through it all. We'll feature James Kennedy, Stephanie Kuehnert, Matthew Cordell, and Julie Halpern, who together have piles of books and buckets of experience.
When: 6 p.m. July 23rd (Friday)
Where: 57th Street Books
1301 East 57th Street in Hyde Park
What: "What's the Worst That Could Happen?"
Don't think this is a night devoted to commiseration in this time of industry upheaval. No, no, no. It is more like strategy building from a team of experts. Survival tips from folks who know!
We'd also like this to be a bit of a summer mixer as well. We'll be serving light fare like our world famous brownies, sandwiches, wine, and beer.
Please RSVP to KateHannigan@gmail.com so we can get a headcount.

Was this a somber blog post? It's gray outside. Not my fault.

Oh I met James Kennedy at ALA this year. Tell him about D&D! I gave him a d20 and he was going to give it to his niece who wants to play.
Speaking of D&D-- I need a new "I played D&D before it was cool" bumper sticker. Mine is so warn, it's barely legible! Do they still exist?
