Happy Holidays, ECC! | November 1, 2011

It might seem early to be saying happy holidays, but winter is sneaking around the corner.  It has been a very busy Fall for the Early Career Committee.  On Tuesday, many of you went head-to-head in the quest for  Golden Bunny trophies at our annual Extreme Trivia Challenge.  All-star authors Gabrielle Zevin and Carolyn Mackler gallantly led our ECC troop down the trivia rabbit hole in a quest for what is arguably the best prize in the industry.  Thank you to everyone who came out in support!  Check out the Trivia Challenge chatter at the Twitter hashtag #GoldenBunnies.

Last month, ECC board member Sarah Dotts Barley (HarperCollins) moderated a fantastic panel with author/illustrator John Rocco (BLACKOUT) and his intrepid editor Stephanie Lurie, which provided insight into the editorial process.  Next month, we will say farewell to 2011 with a Weasley Sweater Happy Hour.

Inside this issue of the ECC newsletter, you will find many informative treats to finish out your year.  Scroll down for a Q&A with Christine Hung, Digital Marketing Manager of Random House Children’s Books, a Poppy Meet-the-Imprint and an insightful take on the ank Street Book Festival from our very own Children’s Book Council liaison Sarah Laties.

 All the best,

Your ECC
