Press Release Fun: KidLitCon 2013 is Nigh!!

September 24, 2013 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

As some of you might remember, last year I hosted the Kidlitosphere Conference (or KidLitCon) in the main branch of NYPL.  There were publisher previews.  There were amazing speakers and talks and rooms.  Grace Lin did our Friday night dinner keynote and Maureen Johnson closed out the conference with the final keynote.  In all, it was a rousing success.  Nobody died.  I consider that a win.  You can read my full recap of the experience (barring the sheer hell I went through with the bloody programs) here.

Well now the time has come to do it all again . . . in Texas.  Yes, I’m not hosting this one, partly because I’ve developed this real love affair with sanity.  Sanity is my friend.  I’m keen on it.  Traditionally this conference tends to move about so that folks from all over the country can attend.  So if you were bummed at our Eastern location in 2012, check out the following and register early!
