Small Press Expo: 9/14-9/15 in Bethesda, MD!

This weekend is the Small Press Expo (aka SPX) in Bethesda, MD! I'm a special guest this year. You can find me at table #K1-2 both days with copies of all my books, original art, and a few t-shirts. I'll also be on the following panel: Raina Telgemeier and Gene Yang in Conversation Saturday, September 14 3:00 – 4:00 The rise of comics for younger readers has been among the most striking developments in comics publishing of the past decade. Raina Telgemeier’s YA graphic novels Smile and Drama have both been New York Times Graphics Books #1 Bestsellers; Gene Yang’s YA book American Born Chinese was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award, among other honors. These two artists join us for a unique conversation about their work, moderated by journalist Chris Mautner. Location: White Oak Room

If you've never been to SPX before, it's one of the most welcoming small press comics events in the country. From SPX's tumblr, here's a list of first-time-attendee questions and answers!

See you there!
