Hello everyone! A few days ago I shared my experience, and my pictures, from the YA Author Extravanganza signing at Third Place Books (Seattle area). I promised some video and this post is it! If you didn't see Part 1 I encourage you to do so. There are awesome pictures and I share details about the whole signing. You can find that post HERE.
Now here's the video I took. It starts out with the authors talking about their books and what inspired them to write what they did. Then the second and third video is where they answer questions. I know it's a lot of video but I split it up so that they would load faster and so you guys can split up your time watching them if you'd like.
I also apologize for the shaking. I was trying to take pictures at the same time and at times my arm was getting tired. I totally should have brought my tripod!
The Giveaway:
I'm giving away a swag pack of goodies from the signing. This includes a couple postcards from Eileen Cook, bookmarks from Cat Patrick and a Forgotten preview booklet, and bookmarks and a sticker from Kimberly Derting. If the winner is from the US I'll also throw in the Jelly Belly's I got from Lisa Schroeder for The Day Before. The Giveaway is open internationally. Just remember to include contact info in the comments. I'll leave it open through 8/10/2011.























Thanks for the giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you could attend something like this. I missed my chances to go author signings when other authors were here! ):
