Kidlit for Los Angeles
(An opportunity to help people and acquire a hilarious number of signed books at the same time!)
Hello lovely everyone!
I’m cross-posting this from my blog to make sure you all know about it, too (so, sorry if you’ve seen it already!) — and to thank you all for subscribing to this newsletter, I also wanted to let you know about another event I’m doing before I post it anywhere else! I’ll be at the Tucson Festival of Books in Tucson, Arizona, on March 15 and 16 — you can find my schedule by going to the author page and looking for me. (Look at all those other exciting authors! Ali Hazelwood! Nnedi Okorafor! T. Kingfisher! Kwame Mbalia! Seanan McGuire! Kyle Lukoff! I’ll need to bring, like, an author hat and a fangirl hat to switch between, so everyone can ignore me while I’m following all my favorite authors around!) 😊
OK, on to the main news!:
2025 has been a lot already (I need a hibernation cave big enough for everyone! please know the dragons and I all love you!) so I am just swooping by to let you know about Kidlit for Los Angeles, an auction to raise money for wildfire relief efforts in Los Angeles.
The proceeds will go to:
California Community Foundation – Wildfire Relief Fund
Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
Animal Wellness Foundation Fire Relief Fund
And there are two Wings of Fire items you can bid on:
or (2) a 30-minute virtual visit with me for your class or book club
There are lots of other really cool things to bid on, too — including a query critique and AMA or a portfolio critique and AMA with my wonderful agent, Steve Malk! He represents so many amazing authors and illustrators and is always lovely to talk to; this would be an awesome opportunity for any writers and artists out there! (Just promise not to ask him whether I’m his MOST melodramatic author!) 😉 Plus signed books, art, critiques, school visits, and more from a whole bunch of my favorite people!
The auction runs until Sunday, January 26, at 9pm PST, so get your bids in before then — and thank you so much to Caroline Perry, Charlotte Offsay, Tara Luebbe, and Jocelyn Rish for all their hard work organizing this!
All right, this face is summoning me back to the writing/blanket fort/hibernation cave:
But I’m sending hugs to all of you, and I’ll be back soon, hopefully with FanWing Fest updates! 😊
