Locus article on the National Literary Journey
Locus Online published my article “A Journey to Remember” about the 14th National Literary Journey in Passo Fundo this year. In it, I discuss the event and the experience of speaking to thousands of adolescents.
From the article:
“Passo Fundo is known as the Literary Capital of Brazil, and for good reason. The national average of non-school-related books read per year in Brazil is 1.5 per person. In Passo Fundo, the average is an impressive 6.5.”
Locus also published a great picture from the event in their print edition.
Thanks so much Locus!
EAMB on Brazilian national TV
I forgot to post this one here before, there was news report that came out right before the Nebulas on RedeTV. It discusses the series and shows part of an interview with me. It’s in Portuguese, but shows my home office and a lot of artwork from the series.
I’ve been interviewed over a dozen times in Brazil this year, but this one came out on national TV and is extra special.
I just wish they hadn’t filmed me paging through a Narnia book. 
The Elephant and Macaw Banner on TV
The Elephant and Macaw Banner was featured on Brazilian national news last week. It appeared on “Leitura Dinâmica”, a program which passes every night on RedeTV!, one of Brazil’s largest television networks. This marks the first time the series has made an appearance on television.
You can watch the video below or see it in full size at the new Elephant and Macaw Banner YouTube channel.
For those who don’t speak Portuguese, everything past the first twelve seconds shows images from the series.
And for fans of the series, more good news is coming soon! Please stay tuned.
