While gushing about Mo Willems to a co-worker today, I realized I sounded like my pre-teen self talking about Leonardo DiCaprio and an idea was born:

A magazine for librarians,Tiger Beat style, with posters and interviews for the fangirl (or boy) that still lives within each of us.

YA authors tend to be a charming sort of nerdy-hot, so of course the first cover would contain a bunch of them. Oh, John and Hank Green! SWOON! This was thrown together today (um, on my breaks, of course) and makes me laugh. If only it existed for real.

How far can we take this fake magazine?

  4. one for which you are interviewing James Kennedy on Saturday? We should come up with a list of incredible questions. Seriously. I want this fake magazine to happen. On the internet. With mostly fake articles, but how cool would a real but ridiculous one be?

  5. I think you should send a request to Maureen Johnson for an interview. Atleast for an interview through email. I think she'd be down for it.
