This year the annual event featured more than 100 authors. The theme was Books that Shaped America, which coincided with the current Library of Congress exhibit featuring 88 titles that have had a transformative effect on the nation. With costumed characters, interactive booths, and book signings galore, the festival was a great success. Members of the AWM Executive Planning Team enjoyed the festivities on the mall and were honored to attend the National Book Festival Gala the night before.

Segments of the interview will air multiple times beginning as early as this weekend. This was a follow-up to an interview that aired more than a year ago. We’ve come such a long way since then in our quest to establish the first national museum devoted to American writers, and O’Hagan’s on-air conversation with Slen provides a delightful progress report. View the segment on Book TV (it won’t air for a few more days), or look for a link to the interview at the AWM website next week.
