Interviews & Guest Posts
I regret that currently (January-February 2012) I am saying no to all interviews except for the ones on the blog tours I've set up and the ones that come to me via my publisher. If I have to choose between answering interview questions and writing my next book, I'm going to pick writing! But if you are dying for an interview later, say in April or May, please contact me. I'll be happy to answer some questions once the craziness has died down a bit.
ARCs
Unfortunately, I do not have any ARCs that I can distribute to book bloggers. Please request these from the publicity department at HarperTeen.
Bookclubs, Classrooms, and Libraries
I am available for events (workshops, school talks, readings, and book signings) in the Los Angeles/Southern California area. I especially love school visits and teaching opportunities, since teaching is my other big passion in life besides writing. I have roughly eight years experience in teaching creative writing on the university level, plenty of fun talks and activities for students of all ages. If I don't live in your area, I am also willing to doing online chats and Skype visits.
Bookstores
I would love to do an author event (a writing workshop or signing) at your bookstore. If you're in my local area, email me. If you're outside my local area, email me anyway with your store's information, and I will pass that on to my publicist.
