Check out not only me but also Jacqueline Woodson, Sara Shephard, John Sciezska and my pal Tad Hills and lots of other amazing Brooklyn writers in the Bklyn Book Festival trailer below.
BTW, Mary Gaitskill is AWESOME in this, talking about everyone's a**es.
I'm on a panel Sept 12 at 10 am with Sciezska talking about humor. I hope I spelled his name right, but probably not. Anyhow, come see us and watch the awesomeness of the trailer even if you can't come. Details of all...
