Spellbound

Local author Megan Shepherd, whose debut YA novel The Madman’s Daughter has just been published by Harper Collins (and has been optioned for a movie), is presenting a publishing workshop at Spellbound on Sunday March 3rd at 5:30pm.

~~~~~~~

“Intro to the Publishing Process” will include Megan’s advice about writing queries, as well as finding an agent, self publishing vs traditional publishing, and other topics of importance to writers just launching their careers. The presentation will last about 30 minutes, with another 30 minutes set aside for Q&A afterward.

~~~~~~

Seeing as Megan’s very first book garnered a three-book deal with a major publisher plus a movie deal, it’s a good bet that she has some helpful insights! The information presented will be useful for writers with any target audience, not just young adult.

~~~~

Spellbound is thrilled to welcome Asheville native Hope Larson as we celebrate the release of her new graphic novel adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic novel A Wrinkle in Time. In 50 years of publication, the book has never been illustrated. Now, Larson takes the classic story to a new level.
50 Years

In honor of the 50th anniversary of WIT, Madeleine L’Engle’s estate approved the graphic novel adaptation and L’Engle’s longtime publisher, Farrar Strauss Giroux, chose Larson to take on this landmark project.

Art Contest

Leading up to our  book release party with Hope Larson on October 6th, Spellbound is sponsoring an art contest for WIT fans at local schools. During the month of September, students in grades 4-8 at local schools can enter to win a FREE copy of the new WIT graphic novel autographed by Hope Larson. Details will be available at your school library by September 1.

Book Party

Our event on Saturday, October 6th kicks off at 1:00pm. In addition to meeting Hope and getting a signed book, you can also participate in WIT-themed activities and enter a door prize drawing for a WIT 50th Anniversary poster.  The winners of the art contest will be announced at the event.

Pre-orders

The book cannot be sold until October 2, 2012, but we are taking pre-orders now. If you would like a signed copy but can’t attend on October 6th, we will be happy to have it signed for you and you can pick it up (or we can ship it you) afterward.
