Many Aussies and one permie ressie
We’re two Saturdays away from an all-Aussie (+ one permanent resident) fantasy explosion: the Printz-honour genius Margo Lanagan, editor extraordinaire Jonathan Strahan, bestselling author of the Sabriel and Keys series Garth Nix, not to mention Aussie-by-marriage Scott Westerfeld, oh, yeah, and me!
Has there ever been such a line up?
No, there has not.
Saturday, 27October 27
3-5PM
Books of Wonder
18 West 18th Street
New York, NY
Stick it in your dairy. Tattoo the details on your little brother’s cheek ((Okay, don’t really do that. That would be wrong.). Carn out and see us!
We’ll read (a little), answer all your questions (almost), and teach you how to talk Australian (maybe).

Margo: I know! Can’t wait!
Barry: Not entirely. Jonathan Strahan is not represented by the lovely Jill Grinberg. (For those who don’t know, Margo, Garth, Scott and me all have the same agent.)
