The group was much smaller on Tuesday at ALAN.  The highlight of my day was listening to Maggie Stiefvater speak on a panel about writing Fantasy.  They were giving out copies of LINGER, too, so I was able to get a couple of copies autographed.  I’ll be using them for prizes at a later date so be sure to keep checking back.

After Maggie’s panel I listened to Jessica Verday talk with her editor about her book and how she goes about writing.  It was interesting, but not what I expected.  The title of the program was “Getting Published,” but they didn’t talk about HOW to get published.

I had to leave a little after 11:00 so I could get to the airport to catch my flight home so I missed the last couple of hours of ALAN, but what I did see what great.

Here is a picture of Maggie with LINGER.
