A good little professor, I’ve set up the vetting group for the Portus YA Reading Series. You might remember that I’m on the board of the HPEF, and we’re trying to expand our programming a bit by inviting YA authors, especially new ones, to come and share their work with us.
We’ve had a few takers, but I’d love to have more. ESPECIALLY local Texas authors who wouldn’t have to sell their first born children for gasoline this year. If you know ANYONE that you think might benefit from a public reading at a convention with several YA readers eager to hear their new stuff, please let them know to contact me.
I’m taking submissions until May 15th.

Where in Texas is this? (That is how I decide whether I’m local from Plano/Richardson!) Also, my YA novel is print-on-demand. That might rule me out anyway. Just thought I’d check.
Shalanna:
PLEASE apply. We’re in Dallas for Portus. If you can bring some copies of your novel to sell, that might be best, as well as information on how people can get to your novel to print it.
