CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR ALA AWARD WINNERS!
Truly, our cup is overflowing. Everyone here is beyond excited and incredibly proud of our award winning books and authors, announced this Monday at the ALA Midwinter Meeting.

MEET ME AT MIDWINTER
Things might be a little quiet over here at the blog this week, because the team is packing up and heading to Dallas, Texas to attend the American Library Association’s Midwinter Meeting. We love this conference– we catch up with old friends, make new ones, promote our terrific upcoming books, and scope the scene for [...]
HAIL THE CONQUERING NCTE HERO
Look who we have here, why, it’s Veronica Roth, author of mega-loved dystopian YA novel DIVERGENT. And what’s that she’s holding? Why it’s an award from the National Council of Teachers of English for “outstanding performance in writing,” awarded to her in 2005 while she was still a wee high school student. And now it’s all come [...]
Weekend Reading

What the Hell Do I Read? went to the SCBWI Conference in Los Angeles and shared some of his favorite quotes. I loved this [...]
More Notes from the Trenches: ALA Annual 2011

Because that’s the sort of goofiness that conferences inspire in us. Our breakfast this morning [...]
Notes from the trenches: ALA Annual 2011
We arrived in NOLA yesterday and have already had an amazing time. First, check out this cup I found in a kitschy gift shop yesterday: It says: “Proud to be a public serving, friendly, book stamping, soft spoken, helpful, well-read librarian.” And I couldn’t help but chuckle (and be a little annoyed). As a former [...]
HarperCollins Children’s Books at ALA Annual
We’re in ALA Annual Countdown Mode here in the office – it’s only one week away! Dozens of boxes have been filled with galleys and we can’t wait to share them with you. However, while galleys are certainly a huge incentive to come by Booth #1315 to say hi, we also want to offer up [...]
HarperCollins’ Fall 2011 Librarian Preview
Last week we had our Fall 2011 Librarian Preview where we invited librarians from the tri-state area to the NewsCorp building, plying them with food and books. Our editors got into the act, showing off their biggest and best books for the upcoming season – and this was the first preview where we had editors [...]

These are to celebrate Bob Shea’s super-fun picture book I’M A SHARK…and heaven knows that you’ll need a fan in sultry New Orleans. Check out the [...]
