2007 promises to be a watershed year for children’s and young adult books. The Class of 2k7 invites you to celebrate with us all year long.

You are invited to the Book Birthday of STORY OF A GIRL by Sara Zarr!

When?
January 10th - 6 p.m. Pacific / 7 p.m. Mountain / 8 p.m. Central / 9 p.m. Eastern

Where?
In the Class of 2k7 Chatroom — Hope to see you there!

Instructions:
It’s easy—

• Go to the forum home page (or any page on the forum)
  http://forum.classof2k7.com/
  
• At the very top left of the page are three rectangular buttons: the rightmost button says 2k7 Chat. Click it! (Or directly to http://forum.classof2k7.com/index.php?action=chat.)
  
• You may get a security warning window - tell it yes, you do want to continue.
  
• Sit back as the chat applet loads.
  
• Start talking by getting your curser to the bottom of the window and typing text - just like an IM window. Hit enter to send your text.

Update:
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and made Sara’s virtual book launch such a rousing success! We will surely hold more of these events for our upcoming books as well.

Congratulations to our panel of experts: Sarah Aronson, Greg R. Fishbone, Carrie Jones, and Jo Knowles, who appeared together at a workshop entitled: “The ABCs of Author Co-Promotions” at the annual New England SCBWI conference in Nashua, New Hampshire. Their high-tech, hour-long, PowerPoint-powered, information-packed presentation was raptly enjoyed by a capacity crowd that filled every seat in the room.

Also present were 2k7 Class Historian A.C.E. Bauer and Class of 2k8 co-leader Marissa Doyle.

This was the first joint presentation of 2k7ers, but certainly not the last. You’ll see another panel in Los Angeles this August and at a variety of book signings, school visits, weddings, and bat-mitzvahs.

The Class of 2k7 authors were well represented at BookExpo America in New York City this June.
