Southern Festival of Books (October 2009)
This festival takes place yearly in Nashville, TN which is a short drive from where I am. It takes place over 3 days, and features over 200 authors from various genres. This year, I was pleasantly surprised to realize they had a wonderful selection of YA authors. Over the course of the festival, myself and a few other bloggers were very fortunate to sit in on some very interesting YA discussion panels. This was my first festival/author event as a blogger, and it was a blast!
Examples of panels attended:
Kathryn Williams
and
Sara Zarr
Justine Larbalestier
Select authors met:
G. Neri 
and Andrew SmithLoretta Ellsworth
Melissa 
de la Cruz
Daniel Waters

Wow, it looks like you had lots of fun! I wish I could attend a book convention sometime :D
I live in Middle TN too, but was sick that weekend. As you can imagine I was not a happy camper that I missed this!
That is so cool :)
Wow! I'm so glad you got to meet so many great authors. That seems like quite an event. What was your favorite part?
