We've got something for everyone at the AJC Decatur Book Festival, happening Labor Day weekend in Decatur, Georgia! You can find the detailed list of talks, panels, and live drawings, along with the times our members will be appearing here at the Southern Breeze website. But here's a sneak peek of book covers and the activities, authors and illustrators. Recognize one of your Breezer friends? Come out and bring your friends and say hello! (And if you don't know us yet, come out and make a new friend in the kidlit writing world!)
Look for these SCBWI books (and authors and illustrators!) at Booth #405 on Saturday afternoon, starting at 2 PM:
Come join illustrators Shanda McCloskey and Laura Murray for a Sketch-up! (That's live drawing,y'all, and so interesting to watch artists talk through the process while they sketch!)
Author Nathaniel Lachenmeyer (The Singing Rock and Other Brand New Fairy Tales) will talk about the art of writing graphically.
Author Nina Moreno will speak about connections and selling a novel.
Let Shelli R. Johannes introduce you to Cece, a budding and inquisitive scientist, at her storytime.
You'll have fun with author Jodi Wheeler-Toppen and her dog and cat interesting facts!
Michael Lackey, multi-published author, answers all your questions.
Join Doris Brown as she reads her book, Pauly Penguin and Friends, a storytime for kids age 5 to 10.
Come hear Loie Chambers' inspiring story about never giving up on your dream!

Author Rhonda Knight wants you to know how to keep your children mentally tough through books!
You can read all about Saturday morning here on the Southern Breeze blog, and remember, books will be available for purchase and authors and illustrators may appear in more than one time slot during the day. But if you want your purchase specially autographed, make sure to be there when the author or illustrator is signing. So check the schedule here! And stay tuned to the blog this month for more highlights of the Sunday authors and illustrators at the festival.
