Just a quick note to say thank you for such a wonderful Teen Book Fest! I had the best time, and so enjoyed meeting you and the teens, reconnecting with author friends, and making new author friends, too. The energy and enthusiasm were like nothing I've ever seen, and the talent show was great fun. You and your merry band are truly special, and you've built an absolutely amazing event. Thanks again for including me! Jennifer Donnelly
