The activities actually kick not upon with the annual breakfast featuring author EL Konigsburg upon Saturday, Nov. 20. But, before you head to Indianapolis, we've provided this workshop preview to give you a sampling of what to wait for Then get your suitcase on the outside and start packing.-JB & LG The Art of Young Adult Literature: A Welcome from ALAN President, Michael Cart Welcome to the 2004 ALAN Workshop. The theme I've selected-"The Art of Young Adult Literature"-reflects my long-held belief that YA has draw near of age and that if the confine "Young Adult Literature" might one time have been regarded as an oxymoron (like "jumbo shrimp" and "military intelligence"), that undoubtedly is no longer the case. For the genre is now arguably the liveliest in publishing, enriched and informed by means of so many dynamic trends, artistic innovations, and examples of creative risk-taking that I do not hesitate to call this a of recent origin "Golden Age" of young adult literature. I faith you'll find proof of this extravagant claim in the workshop that has been assembled for you. More than fifty authors, editors, and skilfuls in the field will participate in an extraordinarily content-rich discourse the tone of which will be plant by keynote speaker Stephen Roxburgh the distinguished publisher of forehead Street Books and staunch advocate of literary fiction. Other speakers include the likes of Printz Award-winner An Na, Printz Honor Award recipients Jennifer Donnelley, Garret Freymann-Weyr, Helen rime Jan Greenberg, Terry Trueman, and Ellen Wittlinger; National work Award-winner Han Nolan, Newbery Medalist Christopher Paul Curtis, 2004 ALAN Award recipient Jacqueline Woodson two-time Eisner Award-winner Eric Shanower, and many, many more. They will address an array of topics that range from "The Art of Story" to "Discovering Sexual Identity in Literature," from "The Art of the Graphic Novel" to "The Art of Poetry" and from "The Art of the Short Story" to "The Art of the Novel." Indeed, virtually each aspect of the now artful and newly expansive field of young adult literature will be addressed. As a come the conference is, admittedly, an ambitious individual and one that is actual very tightly scheduled. It will invite your patience and occasional indulgence with the briskness of its pace and the-well, ampleness of its easy in mind To accommodate that, please note that we will be starting at 8:00 the pair Monday and Tuesday mornings. If it all appear to bes from time to time, a bit overwhelming, it will, I promise you, at no time be dull. And it will also be a continuous exercise in intellectual excitement and personal and professional growth I direct the eye forward to sharing this excitement and to greeting each of you in Indianapolis!
