One of our big discoveries of recent history is NCTE - the attendees are smart and funny and awesome, and the conference attracts some outstanding panels and speakers. Sadly our packed speaking tour meant we couldn’t head over to Boston this year to take part, but in the meantime please visit our friends, this week’s sponsors:

• Simon & Shuster, booth 1402, with advance copies of The Priority List
• W. W. Norton and Persea, booth 1303, with great fiction, poetry, composition, and nonfiction
• Random House Academic, sponsoring the Teacher Awards for Literacy at the First-Timers Breakfast, hosted by Tony Danza
