You can tell that :01 and NYCC are a match made in heaven because our names are both made of abbreviations! That's how heavenly match-making works, right?
First Second's got quite a number of things going on at this convention.
First: we're exhibiting! Stop by; we're at booth 2314. We will do our best to be sociable and also have many excellent books to show off.
Second: authors! It turns out that there are actual people who write and illustrate our books (this came as a shock to us all; we found out early last week) and that sometimes they are in town and can be convinced to sign their books. Thus: autographing schedule!

Is the process different between fiction and nonfiction? And what pieces do you need to add to that world to make it come alive on the page?
With Mike Cavallaro, George O’Connor, Susan Kim, and Laurence Klavan, moderated byTucker Stone

And Jessica Abel's on an panel for educators on Friday at four; if you are an educator, you should go to that as well. With Jessica involved, it is bound to be interesting!
We're looking forward to seeing you there.
I agree with your idea.You look like very talented.It is very happy to meet you. Thank you!
Agreed. Some folks use push/pull, and some of this comes from the “permission markeitng” concept from Seth Godin from about a decade ago. I also agree with you that social media and the ability to have a conversation (like this one) change the game. So maybe we need a new term?
You have some good points, and the best one might be that I prefer to debate less and do more marketing! If you are ever in Boston, look me up and I’ll give you a tour of the HubSpot offices and buy you a coffee.
