Tattered Essence

It seems that plans are starting to come together for the 9th annual National Book Festival in Washington, DC. It takes place on September 26 if you do not have your calendar marked.

As usual, a lot of children’s authors will be in attendance, but for 2009, the Library of Congress and the National Children’s Book and Literary Alliance have teamed up with 18 children’s book authors and illustrators for a special presentation entitled The Exquisite Corpse Adventure, an ongoing story that will be unveiled over the course of a year, concluding before the 2010 National Book Festival.

More information about the events and authors for this year’s festival is available at the National Book Festival Web site.
