My exciting news came in an email from my Bloomsbury/Walker publicist this week. I’m going to be at NCTE in Philadelphia in November, presenting as part of an author panel moderated by the amazing professornana . The official title is "Stories and Standards: Pairing Fiction and Nonfiction for Interdisciplinary Connections," which might sound a tad serious, but I promise it will be rollicking good fun. Is anyone else planning to be at NCTE?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
That is such a great conference.
🙂
congratulations!!!
It does sound fun! Wish I was there.
Congratulations Mrs. Messner!
Good luck! 🙂
I’ll be at NCTE–and acting Philadelphia by sitting in the audience and heckling Teri. Ter-ree! Ter-ree! Ter-ree!
that sounds like a great speaking gig!
Thanks – I’m very excited – especially since I’ve never had the chance to attend that conference as a teacher!
Oh good! Good luck!
I’ve actually never been to it, so my English teacher self is just as excited as my author self!
Re: congratulations!!!
Thanks, Jeannine- I’m excited about it!
Thank you!
Oh dear…no one told me there might be hecklers!
It’s Philly. There have to be hecklers. 🙂 Teri won’t mind.
Oh, congratulations! You’ll love NCTE!

I’m going too, Kate! I’m so happy you’ll be there.

Oh good!! Let’s try to find a quiet minute or two for a cup of coffee, okay?
Thanks, Cindy – I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go to NCTE but was never able to swing it, so I’m very, very excited!
Re: NCTE
Absolutely! Maybe with a Tastycake.

Congratulations, Kate…always great to be able to go to a conference as a speaker, especially if it is one you are interested in, but could not go any other way. You’ll do great!
Yay, Kate! That’s terrific!
I’m planning on going at the end of NCTE for the ALAN workshop. Maybe our time there will overlap!
Thanks, Judy~ I can’t wait!
Oh I hope I’ll see you there! I’m not sure yet when my panel will be, but I’ll let you know when I find out.
