The 2011 PAYA Festival: Meet some of the area's fine YA writers in West Chester, PA, on August 27

For the second year running, West Chester, PA, will play host to the Bring YA to PA festival—an event that unites young adult authors, bloggers, librarians, and readers on behalf of the young adult library collections and services in Pennsylvania libraries. Writers like Josh Berk, Keri Mikulski, Ellen Jenson Abbott, and Sarah Darer Littman will be offering a writer's workshop starting at 10 A.M.  Authors like A.S. King, April Linder, and Chelsea Swiggett will be attending.  And because I'm lucky (and just slipped in under the wire) I will be there, too, joining in the fun and celebration.

The 2011 PAYA Festival will be held on Saturday, August 27, at 1585 Paoli Pike, West Chester, PA, with the workshop running from ten to noon, and clustered author signings getting underway shortly thereafter (thanks to Children's Book World).  I know that I'm looking forward to it. It would be fun to meet you there.
