The Cavalcade of Authors

An organization called The Cavalcade of Authors contacted me yesterday and asked me to be a (assistant) volunteer host for one of the visiting authors. I said yes, of course. I'll be assisting other local authors in the escorting and hosting of one of the guest authors. The guest authors are form all over the country.

I quote the The Cavalcade of Authors website, "The Cavalcade of Authors is dedicated to providing the secondary students of our region access to some of the best Young Adult authors of our modern era. Our special interest is to celebrate Pacific Northwest Authors while introducing students to a variety of genres and subject matter and to furthermore, promote reading and writing within our community. We provide for our participants an authentic writing conference experience where students can learn from the ultimate mentors: the authors of the books they are reading"

The event sounds like the National Science Fair. I was a scientist/judge for the science fair for years. I was always amazed at the quality of the young people that I had to honor to meet and evaluate. I looking forward to meeting the best of our regions emerging writers and the cadre of successful author mentors.

I'll write a later post about the experience.
