    Application for the ALA/ALSC representative to USBBY

    Betsy Bird, July 14, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    This is so neat that I wish I could apply for it myself.  I cannot, but if you’re a member of ALSC, you could (you lucky thing).     The Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) is seeking a personal member interested in representing ALA/ALSC on the United States Board on Books for Young […]

    Press Release Fun: Touring with Richard Peck

    Betsy Bird, June 22, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    As I mentioned in my 2016 Day of Dialog round-up, Richard Peck was the kickoff speaker this year, just before Book Expo.  I was moderating the middle grade fiction panel that morning, so I got to hang out with Richard in the green room a little before the event.  Now I’ve met him in the […]

    And How Did You Spend Your Memorial Day Weekend?

    Betsy Bird, May 31, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    Me?  I spent it in Vermont. The rolling green hills.  The bears and red squirrels and little tiny insects that think your left nostril is a house and home.  The lovely company, particularly when you’re deciding the 2016 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winners. Yup.  Alongside fellow committee members Roxanne Feldman and Joanna Long (she of […]

    The Rabbit Hole or “It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it can’t suck.”

    Betsy Bird, May 2, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    This is big. Maybe the biggest idea in the realm of children’s literature I’ve seen in years.  Possibly my entire career.  I don’t like using the term “gamechanger” but I can’t think of a better word in this particular case. Okay.  So imagine, if you will, a new children’s book museum.  But where that term […]

    Children’s Literary Salon: On Beyond Narnia

    Betsy Bird, April 21, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    Today a co-worker pulled me aside and asked about our next Children’s Literary Salon.  She wanted to know how I was getting such fabulous stars, particularly since the next Salon (a week from this Saturday) will be featuring not just Penderwicks scribe Jeanne Birdsall but author N.D. Wilson to boot.  Add in the topic (a […]

    Press Release Fun: Matt Bird and The Secrets of Story

    Betsy Bird, March 22, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    Reprinting PW deal announcements is not what I tend to do.  Today, however, we’ve a rather extraordinary occurrence.  Some of you may know that my husband Matt Bird is a bit of a blogger and screenwriter in his own right.  Add the term “published author” to that description now.  Publishers Weekly has just announced Matt’s […]

    RETURN of the Children’s Literary Salon: January Event

    Betsy Bird, January 4, 2016 | Press Release Fun

    It wasn’t too long ago that I was running the Children’s Literary Salon, a monthly gathering of topics presented to children’s literature enthusiasts, in the hallowed halls of NYPL.  Times change, people move, and lo and behold here I am on the outskirts of Chicago (if Evanston can really be designated as “the outskirts”) bringing […]
