Last Call! Help an Eagle Scout project - Book Fair, June 1st - see post #9

Update: so the Book Fair is June 1st. Are there any YA authors in the Northern VA/DC area who would be interested in joining me for the event? Anyone, anywhere have a signed book to donate that would be used as raffle prizes for the fair?

My nephew is an avid reader and an aspiring Eagle Scout. For his project to earn the designation, we wants to host a book fair in Herndon, Virginia in the Spring June 1st.

He loves books more than even food I think, and he wants to get other young people excited. He asked for my advice in this planning stage and I said I would reach out to writers I know who may be interested in participating by pledging an in-person appearance (if you're in the area) or donating a copy of their book for the event.

I'll be doing both.

If you, or anyone you know, might be interested, PM me and I'll facilitate the plan.

Oh, he would love that. He loves sci-fi.

Date's been set and we're on. OP has been edited for details. Would love to meet some fellow AWers as well as help out my nephew!

No, YA is definitely not mandatory. Peter's target audience is youth to young adult, so if you think your book would appeal across some part of that spectrum, we would be thrilled to have your participation!

And bookmarks would be awesome, Mclesh! Thank you so much forthe offer. PM me if you want to send something and I'll get it to Peter.

Thank you, everyone!

Last call (and plea) ---

If you have any books that would appeal to a teen base that you would be willing to donate a copy for raffle at the Book Fair, that would be awesome.

And if you're in the DC area and would like to be part of a Q&A panel for the young and the curious, PM me and we'll see what we can set up...

I've gotten a little through my publisher, but I haven't stretched further. Perhaps I should!
