Auction for a chance to have my stuff! Or pick my brain!
I have donated books for Latinx Kidlit Book Festival, which runs Feb 5 – 16.
Here’s what you win if you participate in the auction!
- Signed copy of The Glassman, with clear, glass-like page holder, custom guitar pick and sticker. Signed in blood ink and with glass pen!
- Virtual book club or school visit
- 45 minute knowledge share!
The knowledge share is pretty vague so allow me to elaborate:
I get to share my knowledge in particularly the creative arts, from traditional art such as fiber arts and bookbinding, to multimedia art, such as resin art, to modern art, such as using virtual reality and DIY tech to create art. I also get to share my knowledge in other subjects as well, such as in audio creation/engineering, in publishing, research both historical and general, and more! I’m pretty multifaceted in my skillset so the knowledge I can share is pretty vast.
Funds raised from this auction goes to funding their part-time staff of Las Musas Books. As the festival describes itself:
“Our aim was to connect Latinx authors and illustrators with readers and educators in classrooms around the globe. Since then, and with the help of countless volunteers, the festival has continued to foster a love of story and literacy as well as increase empathy and conversation among educators, students, and book lovers while uplifting the voices of Latinx kidlit book creators.”
By the way, in case anyone is in need to know, while The Glassman does feature Afro-Chicano, Chicano and Black characters exclusively, it’s not a kidlit book given the dark content in the book. It has been donated to help raise money for the auction to boost Latinx children literature authors and book creators. I’m Afro-Caribbean, not Latinx but it’s a good cause so hence why I am donating.
Have fun!
