Emily puts the "adult" in Young Adult - well, not really. But, she is the oldest of the YAthenaeum team (she won't reveal how old, but let's just say she's going to her 5th year college reunion this year).
Emily was the children's and YA events coordinator for Books & Books in Miami for four and a half years. In that time, she was lucky enough to meet more amazing authors and wear more outrageous costumes than she ever believed possible. One of the highlights of her Books & Books' career has been meeting the AWESOME girls who have become the YAthenaeum Team. If only she were that motivated and engaged in high school!
Emily is now a virtual member of YAthenaeum since she has left Books & Books to become the executive director of the Boston Book Festival, to debut in Copley Square October 24, 2009. There isn't much call for wearing costumes in her new role, but she does still get to meet some pretty wonderful authors.
