This was excellent, Cat. If I ever manage to get one of my YA novels published, I would adore the opportunity to pedal network at these kind of events. The BookTok craze (is it still a craze?) feels so painfully inauthentic for me, personally. I'm sure it works for a certain brand of person, but I'd much rather have the chance to banter and gush about my love stories in person. I'll check out the directory link you provided, but wonder if you know of any YA book cons in the greater Boston area off the top of your head. 🙂

But first (and I'm leading somewhere with that): Are you coming to Dragon-Con this year? We have a sci-fi writer doing a meet&greet Sept. 1. This will likely be my last event in Atlanta.

My leading point: Uranus-Pluto-in-Virgo late-boomer/gen X tribute/cover bands are the musical equivalent of fanfic, and the NEW opera/classical music. And that's what my pic at left tells you. And why I'm leaving.
