So, yeah, I'll pretty much be spazzing out, snapping pictures, and waiting in line for autographs the whole time. I really wish I could pitch my novel to some of these agents, but, alas, there is no novel to pitch just yet!

I'm thinking about giving a little presentation about this portion of the conference when I get back to the day job. I work with writers and editors and thought they might be interested in hearing what other people in the same line of work have to say about Harry Potter and young adult books in general.

Any recommendations for good articles about Harry Potter and the impact it's had on YA?
