Tomorrow, School Library Journal is hosting an all day virtual event called SLJ Teen Live! and I am proud to be a part of this 11th annual occurrence of this popular event.

From the landing page for SLJ Teen Live!:

Join us Thursday, August 4, 2022, for our 11th annual SLJTeen Live! virtual event!

Come hear about the latest and most exciting forthcoming titles for teens and tweens. From rom-coms and mysteries to graphic novels and classic coming-of-age stories, our daylong program of author panels, in-depth conversations, and keynote talks will keep you inspired and entertained. 

You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the virtual exhibit hall to meet with leading publishers, enjoy additional chats, and download digital galleys and other free resources.

 

EVENT HOURS: 9:00 AM ET - 5:00 PM ET | 6:00 AM PT - 2:00 PM PT

All of the live sessions will happen via Zoom. Some of the sessions have attendance capacity limits, so if you cannot get into a session, don't worry. The entire event will be available for on-demand viewing the next day and for three months going forward.

This also means, if you cannot join us live tomorrow, you can still register and then watch it later.

There is a VERY full schedule and many of the live session slots have more than 1 session going at a time, so really everyone will be taking advantage of the on-demand access. 

You can click here to see the full program, but here are the details for my specific session:

3:35 - 4:25 PM ET | My Favorite Thrillers
You'll be on the edge of your seat as these authors talk about stories of horror, power, and murder.

 

Nick Brooks, Promise Boys (Macmillan Children's)

N. Griffin, Trigger (Simon & Schuster)

Wendy Heard, Dead End Girls (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers)

Tiffany D. Jackson, The Weight of Blood (HarperCollins Children's)

Courtney Summers, I'm the Girl (Macmillan)

Moderator: Becky Spratford, Reader's Advisory Specialist, RA for All and LJ Horror Columnist

I am excited to talk with these authors about their books, which I got a chance to read before this event. We are going to chat about each of their books specifically and get a chance to learn a little bit more about each author. I hope you can join us-- live or on-demand.
