Teen Author Interviews Online All Month
The Young Adult Library Services Association and Readergirlz, an online community for teen readers, are going Teen Read Week one better and offering online chat each day of October at 4 PM Alaska time. The project, called 31 Flavorite Authors, is girl-oriented, but authors Chris Crutcher and John Green are among the authors who will be online with teens.The website to visit is: http://www.readergirlz.com/issue.html Not only is there a list and schedule of all the authors who are chatting (Chris Crutcher is on Tuesday 10/9) but also audio clips of some of the authors if online chat does not work in your neck of the woods. The Halloween chat will feature the popular Stephenie Meyer and will be at 8 PM Alaska Time. Please note that these are definitely teen authors, and if you’re in a school or public library where chat is blocked, your students will have to join in elsewhere.
