Tuesday, February 11 at 6:00 PM – Autumn Allen is an award-winning author, editor, educator, and children’s literature specialist. Her debut young adult novel, All You Have to Do (Kokila/Penguin, 2023), was long listed for the Massachusetts Book Award and was a People Magazine must-read for fall 2023, a Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of 2023, and a Black Caucus of the ALA debut honor award winner. In an interview with Seekonk Library’s Teen Librarian, Carla Rennick, Autumn will discuss her novel, as well as what it’s like to be a published author and editor. She will answer questions about writing professionally, being a senior editor at Barefoot Books, and her work as a writing instructor for kids, teens, and adults. The interview will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Seekonk Library.
