Tayari's Blog: Returning to My Natural Habitat

I'm headed to Atlanta tomorrow for the AWP conference. There are going to be quite a few exciting literary events around town, so don't miss out. I'll be at the Margaret Mitchell house on Wednesday night at 7pm. (Get there at 6pm to score snacks.) I'm sharing the stage with Lee Smith (whom I love.) There's a cover charge for that event-- just FYI. On Saturday night,8:30pm, Grand Ballroom, 2nd Floor: I'll be at the Hilton downton giving a headline reading at the AWP Conference. This one is free and open to the public. If you're around, I hope you can make it. I'm reading from my new novel-in-progress. Friendly faces are very very welcome. (Don't make me beg, okay?)

I'll be there. Might be drunk though (JK..sorta...I mean, it's AWP;-)

I will surely be at both events, Celie. But I am still requesting that you waive this MM house fee. Please allow me to be a part of your large entourage instead. I would gladly carry your purse, run for water if you are parched, or turn pages as you read. But don't make me pay, man!! Don't make me pay!

(LOL! I will be there anyway, standing in line at the front desk and clutching my entrance fee very tightly!)

I will be at the AWP conference all weekend. The schedule states that you will also do a book signing on Friday between noon and 1 p.m...is this true? Because if so, and please don't be alarmed, I will be "stalking" you this weekend! lol Though we haven't officially "met," I look forward to book signings, pictures, and hearing your illustrious words (besides the ones you gave me last October during our phone interview)!!
