WOW! What a week!
Thank you all for making this a successful event.
We covered a lot of ground in a few short days. So don’t worry if some (or most) of it didn’t sink in. The posts will remain on the site, so you can revisit them whenever you’d like.
I already have a list of tentative topics and contributors who are interested in 2025. If you have any topics or creators you would love to hear from, pop them into the comments below. I’m especially excited to get an MG, non-fiction, and illustrator post on the line-up for next year.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing blog post contributors. Here are a few FREE ways you can support them.
- Borrow their book from the library/Request a library purchase
- Review one of their books
- Recommend them for an author visit at your child’s school
- Sign up for their newsletter (if they have one)
- Engage with them on social media
