CMIS Evaluation Fiction Focus

The US-based weblog Chasing Ray is coordinating the annual Summer Blog Blast this week. Last year lots of our Australian YA authors participated in this blogging feast. The 2008 Blast stays a little closer to home with a list of UK and US writers taking part.

How does it work? A number of litblogs host an author for a day. For example, today (US time, remember) David Almond will log on to Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast and Susan Beth Pfeffer (always good value) will be at Interactive Reader. Tomorrow SBP hops onto the YA YA YAs .

Others taking part include Laurie Halse Anderson, Barry Lyga and Elizabeth Scott.

The full program for the week is here. And the beauty of blogs is that the posts and comments remain, so if there’s no time this week to check out what is being discussed, there’s always next week.

More than a dozen blogs, all passionate about discussing YA books and writers, are taking part in the Summer Blog Blast. These include Finding Wonderland, Fuse #8, shaken & stirred, Bookshelves of Doom, Writing and Ruminating, Bildungsroman, HipWriterMama, A Chair, A Fireplace and A Tea Cozy and Miss Erin.
