Apparently, the convention is sold out with 500 authors in attendance.
The “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing event is going to be something else. The Adult Literacy League benefits from book sale proceeds. Here’s some info I picked up from the blog of one of the participating authors, Ally Carter:
“But don’t take my word for it, you can go to http://www.rwanational.org/cs/literacy_autographing and look over the whole list and see people like Melissa de la Cruz, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Tera Lynn Childs, Simone Elkeles, Diana Peterfreund and many, many more! And not only that, but the signing is for a good cause too. Every year, RWA donates the proceeds from the “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing to charity. This year, your sales will benefit ProLiteracy Worldwide, the Orlando Adult Literacy League, and the Nashville Adult Literacy Council.
Again, there’s no charge, but people who attend are strongly encouraged to buy books at the event if you can since, after all, it is all for charity.
Doors open at 5:30 and close at 7:30 on Wednesday, July 28. The signing will take place in the Pacific Exhibit Hall in the Walt Disney Dolphin Resort in Orlando.
