WLMA wants you! (And so do we.) We still have space for authors in the "Behind the Books" session SCBWI WWA will be co-hosting for middle-school and high school teachers and librarians at the Washington Library Association's October 15, 2016, conference. If your book was published by a PAL publisher this year — or is still to come in 2016 — and works for readers in sixth grade or up, please consider joining us for a fun, easy way to help raise your book's visibility among these book lovers (and library purchasing influencers).
It's okay if your title works for younger readers, too; this particular session is simply targeted to those who don't have picture books or chapter books on their minds... including those who work with "high/low" readers, who need heftier books but with easier reading levels.
Learn all the details here.
Then sign up here right away!

Everything you wanted to know about sex...
...and YA but were afraid to ask!
WHAT: YA After Hours: The Secret World of YA: Sex, Scandal, and ShameJ. Anderson Coats, Martha Brockenbrough, Jeanne Ryan, Lish McBride, and Rory Shay are doing a book panel this Saturday night on sex. Yep, it’s going to pretty much be a high school sex class where teenagers are allowed to ask anything they want. They’ll talk about everything subversive related to YA books, from how far the thrills and chills go to the degree of intimacy. Please come on out and heckle/ask questions!
WHEN: Saturday, January 9 at 6pm
WHERE: University Book Store, U-District

Published pro event this fall
I want to let all our published pros know about a great opportunity coming up this fall! YALSA's YA Lit Symposium will be taking place in Portland, OR, this year, November 6-8, 2015.
I went to the one in Austin last year, and it was a blast! If folks
have recent or soon-to-be-released YA books, they should see if they can
get their publishers to sponsor them. More information about the
conference can be found here (http://www.ala.org/yalsa/yasymposium). And the specific details to relay to publishers is below:
Author Participation — in-kind
YALSA’s Program Officer for Conferences & Events is happy to work with publishers to feature authors at the symposium. Opportunities include a Book Blitz, panel presentations and keynoters for Sat. and a Sun. lunches. Please contact Nichole O’Connor at noconnor@ala.org or 312.280.4387. Additional ideas for author participation are welcome. This is an especially great opportunity for any authors you may have in the local area.
Thanks!

The rest of November: Events worth your while
For the rest of this month, here's a sampling of author/illustrator events. Please not that from this point onward, I will need to receive your event/appearance by the middle of the month BEFORE you're scheduled. That way I can be more efficient and timely, and you'll get the most comprehensive, up-to-date schedule. For those pesky, last-minute events, of course send them my way and I will try to fit them into a weekly post highlighting goings-on and newsy tidbits.
TODAY, Tuesday, November 13, is Inside Story, featuring amazing book releases from our very own chapter! The lineup is extraordinary, and if you can get yourself up to the Mill Creek University Book Store by 7pm, you will be rewarded for your effort. Really.
Saturday, November 17: Teen Book Brunch
Featuring Helen Landalf (Flyaway), Martha Brockenbrough (Devine Intervention), J. Anderson Coates (The Wicked and the Just), Megan Bostic (Never Eighteen).
University Book Store, Mill Creek, 11am
Wednesday, November 28: Graphic Artists Guild Workshop
"The Secret to Happy Clients," with Patricia Belyea. Winning clients is hard enough, but how do you keep them coming back for more? Learn about client profiling, the dynamics of securing and retaining clients, and tips on making your clients delighted with your services.
Seattle Design Center, noon-1:30pm (doors open at 11:30am)
Pre-register for discount price. Further details at www.seattleguild.org.
Because this month began with such a bang at Weekend on the Water, with special guests Jordan Brown and Anne Ursu, it wouldn't be right to keep it under wraps. The latest writeup about this dynamic duo's take on revision and craft left many brains spinning, and here's Janel Kolby's post. Hopefully some of the nuggets of wisdom will make you sit up and have that long-awaited creative epiphany!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Welcome to the holiday season!
