rachelnseigel Hello everybody! It's time for #Mglitchat
-9:00 PM Oct 18th, 201
matt_janacone @AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel I think Children's
Choice Awards is an excellent approach to awarding! #mglitchat -9:01 PM Oct
18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel I feel another book list coming
on. #Mglitchat -9:01 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @AnshaKotyk I do too! I love
the process! #mglitchat -9:01 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat I love the idea that we give kids a
chance to vote on their favourite books- and they always surprise me! -9:02 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry Can I take a minute before #mglitchat to share
the cover art from my upcoming book? Out in June but ARCs are out now!
http://t.co/uNinDeNP -9:02 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @RosanneParry Of course! Exciting! :-)
#mglitchat -9:02 PM Oct 18th, 2012
elissacruz I'm here, but may not stay. I have my own version
of Children's Choice going on (nephews visiting, movie choice ahead...)
#MGlitchat -9:02 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @RosanneParry beautiful cover! #mglitchat -9:02
PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @elissacruz Those kinds of choices are
challenging! #MGlitchat -9:03 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelgrinti Evening all! #mglitchat -9:03 PM Oct 18th, 2012
elissacruz @RosanneParry I LOVE this cover, Rosanne!
#MGlitchat -9:03 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat Other than the Texas Blue Bonnet
Awards, what r some Children's Choice Awards that you follow? -9:03 PM Oct
18th, 2012
matt_janacone @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk It inspires me to
learn more about the CCA. #mglitchat -9:03 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff Hi! Jumping in for a sec...can't hang for
long. #mglitchat -9:04 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry What I love is that just being on the nominee
list puts your book in the hands of 1000s of kids & teachers. Best promo
ever! #mglitchat -9:04 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @RosanneParry Lovely- very mystical! #mglitchat
-9:04 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk I feel terrible.
I'm a children's author, and I didn't even know anout the CCA. Shame on me!
#mglitchat -9:04 PM Oct 18th, 2012
elissacruz @rachelnseigel I follow the very unaward-like
talk in the school library. Does that count? :) #MGlitchat -9:05 PM Oct 18th,
2012
RosanneParry @elissacruz Thanks! Me too. It has a very
classic feel. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @RosanneParry Woot! Congrats! #MGlitchat -9:05
PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @RosanneParry Yes! And they say that with
these awards it doesn't matter who wins- the nomination is the best thing!
#mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @matt_janacone Matt, I don't either. Quickly
trying to cotton on here! #mglitchat -9:05 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry Mind filling us latecomers in on
the news? It sounds exciting! #mglitchat -9:06 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff @matt_janacone There r many
different awards in different States/Provinces/Countries #mglitchat -9:06 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @kitgrindstaff And I love reading children's
book! #mglitchat -9:06 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop RT @rachelnseigel: @RosanneParry ...it doesnt
matter who wins- the nomination is the best thing! <<Yes- shared &
discussed widely #mglitchat -9:07 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat In Ontario, we just announced our
Provincial Reading Program lists. We'll sell approx 2500 copies of the MG
nominated books! -9:07 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @matt_janacone Me too! It's almost ALL I read.
#YA or #MG. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel I'll need to learn more about the
Children's Choice awards in my region. #mglitchat -9:07 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @rachelnseigel Yes! Every book on the list is
bought for most libraries in the state! Winning doesn't make them buy more :-D
#mglitchat -9:07 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff I'm familiar w/
many of the popular ones, but I need to pay more attention. #mglitchat -9:07 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel Wow, that sounds awesome.
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @RosanneParry That's totally true! We find
that with ours too! #mglitchat -9:08 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AveyMelissa RT @rachelnseigel: #Mglitchat In Ontario, we
just announced our Provincial Reading Program lists. We'll sell approx 2500
copies of the MG nominated books! -9:08 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone I've visited alot of schools to talk about books
and read mine. Kinds are so honest. They ask the good questions. #mglitchat
-9:08 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @AnshaKotyk I'm with you there, Ansha. Feel
like I'm walking in on a party where everyone looks at you and says
"huh?" #mglitchat -9:09 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff It's totally amazing! We have a
big closing ceremony for kids in the spring- the authors r like rock stars
#mglitchat -9:09 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @kitgrindstaff Just sharing the cover art for
my upcoming book Written in Stone. #mglitchat http://t.co/Sru47Vc8 -9:09 PM Oct
18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry Now that is good to know! So
glad I dropped in here...garnering more homework tho' :/ #mglitchat -9:09 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @kitgrindstaff There r so many
different ones, it's hard to follow all. But, immediate gr8 reading lists!
#mglitchat -9:10 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @kitgrindstaff Me, too. Entering B&N's, I
head directly to the children's dept and hand out there as if it's a library :)
#mglitchat -9:10 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @kitgrindstaff I always did
that with my local bookstores- that's why I ended up working in children's
books! #mglitchat -9:10 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel Oooh....*makes mental note to
bone up on all this when has time...* #mglitchat -9:10 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel @matt_janacone Aaaagh! As if my
tbr isn't mad enough! #mglitchat -9:11 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters *looks at @kitgrindstaff and @AnshaKotyk and
says "huh?"* ;-) #MGlitchat -9:11 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff As an author, getting your book
submitted and listed is a gr8 thing! That's generally a pub's job to do!
#mglitchat -9:11 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @matt_janacone True, that's a great use of
B&N! (and Starbux to boot, w/any luck) #mglitchat -9:11 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff If I go, I'm
TOTALLY wearing my gold spandex pants and bling! #rockin'it #MGlitchat -9:12 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat do we have any teachers/librarians
participating tonight? If so, what r your experiences using them with kids?
-9:12 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @ilanawaters 'Cause I'm trying to catch on to
what these awards are...Like a few tweeps have said, don't know enough about
them. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone There should be a 'NYT' children's books
bestsellers list published by children. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat or of course, any authors who have
found themselves on a list before? I think a few of our regulars have been
nominated. -9:12 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry Oh, it's GORgeous! Congrats.
#mglitchat -9:13 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @kitgrindstaff Go for it! The
kids love it! #rockin #MGlitchat -9:13 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat with the Canadian awards, it
particularly gives us a chance to celebrate national talent. A lot of CDN
authors r unsung! -9:13 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel #Mglitchat get dwarfed by the bigger names in
U.S. Publishing. (Minus a few who have superstar status here) -9:14 PM Oct
18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel I guess starting w/local ones
makes sense. #mglitchat -9:14 PM Oct 18th, 2012
JeanGiardina I'm here at the library, googling Children's
Choice Awards. Great books! #mglitchat -9:14 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone B&N's should have a bar in the children's
dept serving chocolate milk, Cool-Aid and those "yellow" little
cheese fishies. #mglitchat -9:15 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel And there's a ton of DCN book
bloggers, so it's time for that to shift. #mglitchat -9:15 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel I have a question, what has
surprised you most about the choices kids make for the awards? #Mglitchat -9:15
PM Oct 18th, 2012
WriterRoss (Here, listening) #mglitchat -9:15 PM Oct 18th,
2012
RosanneParry When trying to sell other rights (trans.,
movie, book club) having a record of CCA nominations helps. It shows breadth of
appeal. #mglitchat -9:15 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @JeanGiardina Hi Jean! That's another thing I
need to make use of...my local library :) #mglitchat -9:15 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @matt_janacone YES! Let THEM decide! #MGlitchat
Sort of like Nickelodeon. #MGlitchat -9:15 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk What's surprised me most, is they
seldom vote for what we think would be the obvious choice. #Mglitchat -9:15 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @matt_janacone :) #mglitchat -9:16 PM Oct
18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk They genuinely show sophistication
and appreciation of quality. #Mglitchat -9:16 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk And that's kinda awesome. RT @rachelnseigel:
@AnshaKotyk They genuinely show sophistication and appreciation of quality.
#Mglitchat -9:16 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk Though that has been disputed
about picture book awards- we think it's more teacher driven cause they're
young. #Mglitchat -9:16 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel That makes me even more
intrigued to dig in further. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel Australia too, I've noticed.
Which is weird and unfair. Good literature knows no continents! #MGlitchat
-9:16 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff You totally should! I always
make educated predictions at the start of each program, and I am usually wrong!
#mglitchat -9:17 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff And though I gripe about
"required reading" (have to read all of them) I discover a lot...
#mglitchat -9:17 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff personally that I enjoy that I
wouldn't have chosen without some help! #mglitchat -9:17 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @KarenBridget777 @kitgrindstaff
You could *totally* have been like Tom Cruise in "Rock of Ages." ;-)
#MGlitchat -9:18 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk I've heard that the
kids choices are often a surprise. Kids are less impressed by the big name.
#mglitchat -9:18 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @rachelnseigel LOL...every time I think I've
passed one hurdle pre-pub and lightened my work load, I find more I need to
learn! #mglitchat -9:18 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters I think that the book industry on
the whole is dominated by U.S. really have to work hard to push national
talent. #MGlitchat -9:18 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry Right, why would they be? Little
or no ego involved yet. #mglitchat -9:19 PM Oct 18th, 2012
JeanGiardina @kitgrindstaff Hi Kit! Here at the library
helping the 11 yo with an Epic Quest. Both of our TBR piles are growing.
#mglitchat -9:19 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @RosanneParry @AnshaKotyk Amazingly so- we
probably don't give them enough credit. #mglitchat -9:19 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry I think adults r
more impressed by a name. #mglitchat -9:20 PM Oct 18th, 2012
JeanGiardina Kind of surprised by the list of Advanced
Readers. Some titles I know very well. Others not at all. #mglitchat -9:20 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @JeanGiardina Meaning the quest is epic, or
looking for books about epic quests? #mglitchat -9:20 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel Sorry to be so dominating. I
wonder why that is? #MGlitchat -9:21 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop RT @RosanneParry: @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk Kids
votes have a strong peer pressure aspect to them, but that's sorta cool, right?
#mglitchat -9:21 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters Totally cool! This is an open
conversation! #MGlitchat -9:21 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop @RosanneParry @AnshaKotyk Pressure
to read a book yes- but I don't see it in voting as much. #mglitchat -9:22 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry Whoever my fav.
authors were as a kid=rock stars 2 me. Names that were "big" 2 others
meant nothing. #MGlitchat -9:22 PM Oct 18th, 2012
JeanGiardina @kitgrindstaff It's a very fun "get to
know your library" thing for pre-teens. Even I'm learning a ton too.
#mglitchat -9:22 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry I
recently was at a function with an author I'd idolized since I was 11. I
fangirled! #MGlitchat -9:22 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone How many categories are there to the CCA?
#mglitchat -9:23 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel My first book (pubbed 2010) is on
the Iowa list this year. I guess they're not required to use this year's books?
#mglitchat -9:23 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelnseigel @RosanneParry @AnshaKotyk I hear
it- not in a threatening way, but "lobbying" for faves, especially
series titles #mglitchat -9:23 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler Different programs have different
year requirements. Some can go back 2 years- esp if they want a PB. #mglitchat
-9:24 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop @RosanneParry @AnshaKotyk Ontario
goes back 1 year. BC goes back 2. #mglitchat -9:24 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone Just one- K-6 is reading age
group. #mglitchat -9:24 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry
Ooo--who was it? Can you say? #MGlitchat -9:24 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry
Sure- it was Gordon Korman. He went to my public school & high school (but
is older) #MGlitchat -9:25 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel Whatever the reasoning -- it's a
thrill and an honor! #mglitchat -9:25 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler The thing I can't get over
working in this industry is socializing with authors whom I admire greatly!
#mglitchat -9:26 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith Newbie jumping in with a Q! Does the voting
happen in schools? #MGlitchat -9:26 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler And MOST authors are very
gracious and kind. Only ever met a few who weren't. #mglitchat -9:27 PM Oct
18th, 2012
matt_janacone Is there a gold CCA seal they put on the cover
of the books that receive this award? #mglitchat -9:27 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @MullenFaith Yes. The actual Children's Choice
Awards happen in schools in 5 geographic locations. 2500 kids vote- huge!
#MGlitchat -9:28 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel I won't ask who. Much as I want
to... #mglitchat -9:28 PM Oct 18th, 2012

ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry Cool
name! Mine was Ann M. Martin. I would've walked over hot coals 2 meet her.
#MGlitchat -9:29 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @MullenFaith Usually, often coordinated by
librarians, also featured in classrooms, pub. lib.s and kids can vote for many
online. #mglitchat -9:29 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler Tons more I'd love to meet, but
many of the big U.S. authors don't come here! #mglitchat -9:29 PM Oct 18th,
2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @kitgrindstaff @RosanneParry I'd
still love to meet her- I was 2 old 4 BSC, but love her other stuff! #MGlitchat

Jess_Keating @rachelnseigel Ooh, excellent! Another book
list, methinks :) #mglitchat -9:29 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone Have there been any books written by children
that were awarded the CCA? #mglitchat -9:30 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @Jess_Keating Funnily enough, we haven't
really talked about specific books- more the generalities of awards. #mglitchat
-9:30 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel I've never been to Toronto...
#mglitchat -9:30 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @dianezahler Okay, schadenfreude.
Dish it. What did they do? *puts chin in hand* #authorsbehavingbadly #MGlitchat
-9:30 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler It's kind of a publisher issue-
many don't even think to send author's here. #mglitchat -9:30 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @ilanawaters Do you mean the Babysitters Club
Ann Martin? I met her this summer; she was lovely. #mglitchat -9:31 PM Oct
18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler Mostly a lack of
graciousness or appreciation for ppl who like their books.
#authorsbehavingbadly #MGlitchat -9:31 PM Oct 18th, 2012
kitgrindstaff @JeanGiardina That's great. I must check it
out... #mglitchat -9:32 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler Some r just gr8
writers but lack social skills with adults. #authorsbehavingbadly #MGlitchat
-9:32 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @dianezahler OMG, yes!! Sorry, fangirl squeal.
Dangit--some folks have all the luck. #MGlitchat -9:32 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @ilanawaters Have you seen Because of Shoe, the
collection of dog stories edited by Ann Martin? Rock star author list in it.
#mglitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @dianezahler Are there any
expected behaviors that show good manners? Want to make sure I'm always polite.
#MGlitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @MullenFaith Yes, usually kids have to read
several on the list & then get to vote. Usually the librarian keeps score.
#mglitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
Jess_Keating RT @rachelnseigel: #Mglitchat In Ontario, we

Dins on the table. 'Night all, and thanks. #mglitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @dianezahler I mean, besides
saying please/thank you. Like, hidden protocols. #MGlitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th,

rachelnseigel #mglitchat the shortlists r of course decided
via committee of teachers/librarians and it's always interesting what that
brings to it. -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @kitgrindstaff Thanks for stopping by. Have a
yummy dinner! #mglitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @ilanawaters Really, she was just completely
modest and kind and shy. She brought a very funny editor to balance it out.
#mglitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler Not anything that
isn't general polite behaviour. Not saying u have 2 be touchy feely, but be
gracious. #MGlitchat -9:33 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelnseigel I've worked with so many authors
on school visits, many quirky, but all gracious, fun. #mglitchat -9:34 PM Oct
18th, 2012
ilanawaters @PBWorkshop No, but thanks for the rec! Oh, and
this is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, in case anyone's interested.
#MGlitchat -9:34 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler They sometimes
forget that booksellers, industry ppl who are excited to meet them and love
their books. #MGlitchat -9:34 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @matt_janacone Yes! Apparently it's picture day
for me. :-) #mglitchat http://t.co/7PI55NDJ -9:34 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @dianezahler Ha-ha--that's so
funny. Wonder if it's from working in isolation, or working with kid-stuff.
#MGlitchat -9:34 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone They should have an award for YA lit as well -
YACA. #mglitchat or maybe they already do? -9:35 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler I wonder...
sometimes just a personality thing. Some writers r very introverted. #MGlitchat
-9:35 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @RosanneParry So fun. I would have loved to vote
as a kid! #mglitchat -9:35 PM Oct 18th, 2012

have been wholly into the process! #mglitchat -9:36 PM Oct 18th, 2012

rachelnseigel @dianezahler @ilanawaters But- u go to an
industry event honouring you, I expect some appreciation of why u r there!
#mglitchat -9:37 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @dianezahler I think I can handle
that. Not that it's likely to happen anytime soon, but good to know. #MGlitchat
-9:37 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @ilanawaters And I mean a general
u- not specifically u! ;-) #mglitchat -9:37 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop Yes please (if it's a
dachshund) ;) #mglitchat -9:37 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @dianezahler @rachelnseigel I can imagine. And I
am introverted, so even expressing my appreciation is hard. #MGlitchat -9:37 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel And bookstores are so wonderful
to authors in every way. I can't imagine not being grateful and gracious.
#mglitchat -9:38 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @PBWorkshop I wonder if #CarlHiaasen has won
anything. #mglitchat -9:38 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @ilanawaters Or take along a dog- they love the
attention and relax everyone! next up, a good dog book... #mglitchat -9:38 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @rachelnseigel But many publishers cover travel
to receive awards. Its 1 way to get an author who can't afford to come
otherwise. #mglitchat -9:38 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @ilanawaters Some publishers just send them
along. A nice thing, especially for the novice. #mglitchat -9:38 PM Oct 18th,
2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler If it makes u feel
better, I read that Zadie Smith's first bookstore event was awful! #MGlitchat
-9:38 PM Oct 18th, 2012
JenniferCEstes Trying to follow #mglitchat tonight, but some
kids are still up with pre-teen drama. #unpredictable #transcript -9:39 PM Oct
18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @JenniferCEstes Fun times! #mglitchat
#unpredictable #transcript -9:39 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler Apparently they
thought she was stuck up and rude- and it was just that she was young &
overwhelmed. #MGlitchat -9:39 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @dianezahler If it ever comes to
that, I PROMISE I will. But it would probably be in a quiet, blushing way.
#MGlitchat -9:39 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @MullenFaith It's a great way to tap into the
social aspect of reading. SO important IMO. #mglitchat -9:40 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @RosanneParry Yes- in the U.S. But, CDN travel
has it's own complications. #mglitchat -9:40 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @MullenFaith @PBWorkshop Here you go!
http://t.co/LEZezE3X #mglitchat #daschundyourselfout -9:41 PM Oct 18th, 2012
Jess_Keating @rachelnseigel Oof, I feel mortified on her
behalf just to hear this! @ilanawaters @dianezahler #mglitchat -9:41 PM Oct
18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @matt_janacone His website doesn't note awards
for his titles (that is usually added when won). Can check http://t.co/9Ikx6gld
#mglitchat -9:41 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @RosanneParry Need to make it financially
viable- and we're a smaller market. #mglitchat -9:41 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel @ilanawaters So...a downside of
being pubbed when young... #mglitchat -9:41 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @dianezahler Agreed, I've Never met a rude kids
author but I've met a few painfully shy ones and a few very jet lagged ones.
#mglitchat -9:41 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @Jess_Keating @ilanawaters @dianezahler She
did improve- and they eventually realized how wrong they were. #mglitchat -9:41
PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone I know when I visits schools, children always
challenge me, interrogate me in an innocent way abotu my books :) #mglitchat
-9:41 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @RosanneParry Agreed. Where would we be without
other reader recommendations? #mglitchat -9:42 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @ilanawaters She obviously wasn't
prepped well on what 2 expect- but maybe her pub didn't know. #mglitchat -9:42
PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone That's awesome! Kids don't miss
anything- I love hearing how they think. #mglitchat -9:42 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @dianezahler I suspect the shock/awe reaction if
the book is major hit. many say they show up and there are only a few who come.
#mglitchat -9:42 PM Oct 18th, 2012
Jess_Keating @rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @dianezahler Oh,
good! I can see how it could be so terrifying for some folks :) #mglitchat
-9:42 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @PBWorkshop I know. I visit his website often.
That's why I wondered. :) #mglitchat -9:42 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @Jess_Keating @ilanawaters @dianezahler There
is a picture book author here who is huge, but is bi-polar. #mglitchat -9:43 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @PBWorkshop This is right up my alley. But would
bookstores, etc., allow dogs? #mglitchat -9:43 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @Jess_Keating @ilanawaters @dianezahler It's
just known that he interacts poorly with adults, but is gr8 with kids!
#mglitchat -9:43 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @PBWorkshop Been there... #mglitchat -9:43 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @rachelnseigel I always wonder when they're
going to get me, when I won't have an answer for them :) #mglitchat -9:44 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop Depends where.. Some
will- though not likely a big chain store. More likely an indy. #mglitchat
-9:44 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @ilanawaters Put a pair of glasses on it and say
it's your brother. #mglitchat -9:44 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone It'll happen for sure!
#mglitchat -9:44 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop Maybe if you pretend it
is for seeing eye purposes? #mglitchat -9:44 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop @ilanawaters My 110 lb dog isn't
welcome in a lot of places. We joke that we'll dress him up and say he's human.
#mglitchat -9:44 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @dianezahler Makes for an intimate and personal
visit for those who do come, though. Very memorable. #mglitchat -9:44 PM Oct
18th, 2012
Jess_Keating @PBWorkshop @ilanawaters Hahaha, love this
idea! Dogs for all! #mglitchat -9:45 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @MullenFaith @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop Or have
him registered as an emotional support animal- my brother's girlfriend did
that. #mglitchat -9:45 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @rachelnseigel @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop Haha, I
think I will start using that excuse! #mglitchat -9:46 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelnseigel I bet you wouldn't have to
convince HIM, that he already feels equal if not superior! #mglitchat -9:46 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @PBWorkshop Yes, if the store is prepped for it.
Otherwise, you'll be reading thru a mike to 4 people sitting among 30 empties.
#mglitchat -9:47 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @MullenFaith @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop We're
considering it for my BF- who genuinely needs him. #mglitchat -9:47 PM Oct
18th, 2012
matt_janacone So, how are these children's voices heard when
they vote on a book for a CCA? #mglitchat -9:47 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters LOL! #dogsinstores RT @PBWorkshop: Put a pair of
glasses on it and say it's your brother. #mglitchat -9:47 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop Oh I know he does. I'll tell u
sometime about what it was like camping with him! #princess #mglitchat -9:48 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @MullenFaith @PBWorkshop Are you
serious? *snort* No one would blink an eye if a writer did that.
#we'vegotissues #mglitchat -9:48 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @matt_janacone balloting is usually done by the
school librarian. #mglitchat -9:49 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel You had mentioned that Librairans
help? RT @matt_janacone: So, how are children's voices heard for a CCA?
#mglitchat -9:49 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone As usual, I'm learning alot from you folks
tonight! :) #mglitchat -9:49 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @RosanneParry Ah, TY :) #mglitchat -9:50 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone The children read
the shortlisted books and vote on a winner- but the list is selected by adults.
#mglitchat -9:51 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @ilanawaters @rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop As if
there aren't already enough stereotypes on writers ;) #mglitchat -9:51 PM Oct
18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @rachelnseigel There's also online voting?
#mglitchat -9:51 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @RosanneParry Would my voice count? I like to
go up to the children's dept. in local library to write. :) #mglitchat -9:51 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @matt_janacone The "BIG" CCA is
sponsored by IRA: details here- http://t.co/7sq6PCk6 #mglitchat -9:51 PM Oct
18th, 2012
matt_janacone @rachelnseigel @AnshaKotyk Selected by
adults??? What??? #mglitchat -9:52 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @MullenFaith @rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop *takes a
swig while contemplating existential crisis* I've no idea what UR talking
about! #mglitchat -9:53 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel: @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone Seems
like author visits would probably make a difference, no? #mglitchat -9:53 PM
Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop Some of the international ones are listed here,
links to their sites: http://t.co/WrCTDXtf #mglitchat -9:53 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @PBWorkshop @matt_janacone Interesting! I am
also learning a lot. #mglitchat -9:53 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @AnshaKotyk A steering
committee reads all the submissions and creates the list kids read. #mglitchat
-9:53 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @matt_janacone Knowledgeable adults, very in
touch with what kids are picking/reading the most. #mglitchat -9:53 PM Oct
18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @ilanawaters I thought you'd have finished the
wine I sent you last week by now! #mglitchat -9:54 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone Author
vists are always a great thing- regardless. #mglitchat -9:54 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @PBWorkshop Okay, then. That's makes sense :)
#mglitchat I feel much better :) -9:54 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone Our
nominated authors do a lot of special events throught the duration of the
program. #mglitchat -9:54 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelnseigel And author visits are becoming
dinosaurs- shrinking budgets and "on task" minutes- but skype helps.
#mglitchat -9:55 PM Oct 18th, 2012
dianezahler @rachelnseigel: @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone What
kind of events? #mglitchat -9:55 PM Oct 18th, 2012
RosanneParry @matt_janacone I believe you would have to
actually enroll in a grade school to pull that off. ;-) #mglitchat -9:55 PM Oct
18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop Skype does help. And have any of u
heard of the Longpen? #mglitchat -9:55 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone A lot
of library appearances and school visits. Some bookstore events. #mglitchat
-9:56 PM Oct 18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk What's Longpen?? Curious.RT @rachelnseigel:
@PBWorkshop Skype does help. And have any of u heard of the Longpen? #mglitchat
-9:56 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelnseigel gonna google it now and pretend to
be smart... #mglitchat -9:56 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @dianezahler @AnshaKotyk @matt_janacone And of
course the various closing ceremonies held by individual boards. #mglitchat
-9:56 PM Oct 18th, 2012

#mglitchat -9:57 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @RosanneParry I am a kid at heart. I'd fit
right in - plus I still have all my hair :) #mglitchat -9:57 PM Oct 18th, 2012
ilanawaters @MullenFaith @PBWorkshop @matt_janacone We're an
awesome group, if we do say so ourselves. #kidlitchat (Tues @ 9 EST) is great
2. #mglitchat -9:57 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @RosanneParry Being active on
social media helps- with the teen awards particuarly. #mglitchat -9:57 PM Oct
18th, 2012
AnshaKotyk Cool RT @rachelnseigel: @AnshaKotyk @PBWorkshop
http://t.co/hvjll9K3 #mglitchat -9:58 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @rachelnseigel BTW, I love Canadian books-
KidsCanPress is one of my faves- and think they should qualify for US awards!
#mglitchat -9:58 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone @rachelnseigel @RosanneParry Do I earn credits
for attending/participating in CCA 101? #mglitchat -9:58 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @PBWorkshop I'm sure @KidsCanPress would love
to! have a U.S. award. They do some beautiful books! #mglitchat -9:59 PM Oct
18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @RosanneParry LOL! Awareness of
it will mean u encourage agent/publisher to submit your book for consideration!
#mglitchat -9:59 PM Oct 18th, 2012
matt_janacone Shucks! Only 2 minutes left to #mglitchat !
-9:59 PM Oct 18th, 2012
MullenFaith @ilanawaters @PBWorkshop @matt_janacone I will
have to check in then. Never done learning. #mglitchat -9:59 PM Oct 18th, 2012
rachelnseigel @matt_janacone @RosanneParry You would think a
publisher would automatically submit, but it can b hard to keep track
of.#mglitchat -10:00 PM Oct 18th, 2012
PBWorkshop @matt_janacone No credit but you'll be billed for
attending. #mglitchat -10:00 PM Oct 18th, 2012
