Avi: What Have I Learned from Fifty Years of Publishing?

Avi will discuss the lessons he has gleaned from fifty years as a writer. Entry includes access to the Capital Rare Book Fair.

Avi is part of a family of writers as far back as the 19th century. With more than 80 books published, he is always in the process of writing or revising one or two books. Winner of many awards, you may have read his 2003 Newbery Medal winner Crispin: The Cross of Lead, his Newbery honor The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, or his Newbery honor Nothing But the Truth. Avi’s Poppy books are read out loud in many classrooms. He was born and raised in New York City, lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, and Rhode Island, and now lives in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
