My First Publishing House Tour
Entering into the Scholastic building, the lobby has a number of classic icons from literature, including Harry Potter. It was great to see some bloggers I've met before, but also to meet some new-to-me bloggers.
We were taken on a tour of the building, the offices, and the archives in the basement. Diary of an Eccentric's daughter, known as The Girl, took over the camera for the bit in the archives and she took a number of photos, but I'll only share one of them with you. You should have known that she was going to take pictures of R.L. Stine books. There are some other photos of Sweet Valley High and more "classics."
The Girl also got to meet Rick Riordan and Ruth Ames, two great YA authors. I let her take the photo of Riordan, while her mom took a shot of Ruth Ames, who also writes adult fiction under another name. Check them out:
I've got a couple of group blogger shots. One group shot was taken by The Girl, includes Kathy of Bermudaonion, Julie of Booking Mama, Laura of I'm Booking It, Pam of Bookalicious, and Swapna of S. Krishna's Books. The second shot was taken by the Scholastic staff. Thanks to all of you.
