I hope to see you there.


* Because touring is not free (or even cheap!) and because wonderful independent bookstores sometimes have to partner with off-site places, and because of various other things that we can get into if you are genuinely bored or curious, some of these events are ticketed, and to get a ticket you may have to purchase a book from the bookstore hosting the event or pay for a ticket or something. I am sorry if this is an inconvenience to you, and even sorrier if it will prevent me from meeting you, but it is an unfortunate necessity. So please call for tickets.

** Events that do not say TICKETED EVENT in big capital letters are free, although of course an excellent way of saying, "Thank you for bringing David Levithan and John Green to this city" is to buy a book from the bookstore that made it possible.

Reminder: On Monday, March 15th, I'll be talking about vlogging and books in Indianapolis at 7 PM: Indianapolis Public Library 40 E St. Clair St Indianapolis, IN

On Wednesday, I'll be in New York City with David Levithan, Libba Bray, and E. Lockhart doing crazy readers theater at the South Court Room of the New York Public Library's 42nd Street Central Library branch.

Then in April, I'll be on tour a lot. For more info, scroll down. Now then: I have promised to answer your questions and comments. And if there's anything this blog is known for, it's keeping promises. Also breaking promises. But anyway:

"Is it possible for us to buy books at one of the stops on your tour?"

It is not only possible; it is encouraged.

"Why are you not coming to Canada/Seattle/The Moon?"

I would very much like to quit writing and spend all of my time touring to Canada, Seattle, the moon, and your hometown. However, there are a few problems with this plan, most notably that 1. I have a seven-week old son here in the house who demands (and deserves) a lot of attention, and also 2. David Levithan has an actual job, plus 3. I also kinda have a job writing books.

"Man, I wish you could visit Hawaii sometime, John!"

Me, too! My publisher has never offered to fly me to Hawaii to tour, but believe you me, I WOULD NOT TURN THEM DOWN.

"I figured there would be more tour dates. but oh well"

Again, there is this tiny baby who is counting on me to provide him with fresh diapers and lullabies and the like.

"What size shirt do you wear?"

Large, usually.

"Is there a cost for reserving a seat?"

No. The only event that costs money is the one at Symphony Space in New York. You just have to reserve a seat at some of the venues because they are not-huge.

"Prices? Times? please let us know these things, John."

Right, so the price is almost always free; if I know the time, it's listed below. If I don't, it's reasonable to assume that the time will be "early eveningish," but I will certainly give you an exact start time THE MOMENT one has been decided upon.

Hope to see many of you this month and next!

Hope to see you all

Right, so for the last five years, I've been working on this book with David Levithan called Will Grayson, Will Grayson. The novel is about two different people, both named Will Grayson. (One WG is written by me, the other by David.)

It has recently come to my attention that this book comes out in 28 days. So you should preorder it here! Or here! Or here! Or here!

Also David and I are going on TOUR! I hope you will come see us.

First, NEXT MONDAY, MARCH 15, I will be talking about vlogging and books in Indianapolis at 7 PM: Indianapolis Public Library 40 E St. Clair St Indianapolis, IN

UPDATE: I'll be doing crazy readers theater in NEW YORK CITY with David Levithan, Libba Bray, and E. Lockhart on MARCH 17th at 6 PM at South Court Room, New York Public Library, 42nd Street Central Library.

Then on April 6th, the real tour begins!
