2009 marks the 10th Anniversary of Laurie Halse Anderson’s novel
Speak–a book that truly changed the face of Young Adult fiction. In
celebration of this event, Penguin Young Readers Group is proud to be
hosting a “Speak Up About Speak” campaign and is inviting members of
the young adult literary community to share their thoughts on the
novel and the important role it played in shaping YA literature.

Share a memory. Tell a story. Reveal the impact SPEAK had on you, your
students, your colleagues, your friends. We invite you to “Speak Up
About SPEAK”–take a moment on a break between sessions to be taped by
Penguin’s video crew, stationed just outside Salon E. They’ll be there
all day Monday, the first day of the workshop, no appointment
necessary, just swing on by.
