Linda Sue Park, author of A Single Shard, won the 2002 Newbery Medal just two years after her first book was published. But her 'overnight' success actually took nearly three decades to achieve. She will discuss her reading, writing, and publication journey, from the slushpile to the Newbery award, in a talk titled "Slushpile Cinderella."

Introduction by Barbara Billingsley.
