Barbara Mayfield and Mrs. Iptweet go to Philadelphia

Mayfield to conduct Mrs. Iptweet Playshops in Mail Art and MapMaking at O'Doodles Toy Store and the TreeHouse Play Cafe
Santa Fe, NM.------Author/illustrator/performer Barbara Mayfield will read excerpts from her first children's novel, The Magical Mrs. Iptweet and Me, as part of the first annual Chestnut Hill Book Festival to be held July 10 -12.
As part of her readings, she'll be conducting free playshops in Mail Art and MapMaking, in the style of Aunt Belle and Prudence Fish Hornby, two of the stars in The Magical Mrs. Iptweet and Me.

"Mrs. Iptweet", a novel for children ages 8 and up, won a New Mexico Discovery Award in 2006. Heroine Prudence Fish Hornby, age nine-and-a-half, and her new neighbor, the quirky artist and Parade Specialist Mrs. Iptweet tap the power of the ground, study the magic and power of names and, against all odds, pull together the first annual Midsummer's Day Mythical Creatures Parade on boring old Durham Street.

Mayfield will be also be performing as Roving Puppeteer with her marionette, Beauty the Pink Flamingo, during the festival before and after her reading/signing times.

Mayfield was born and raised in Philadelphia. She lived for 15 in the West Mt. Airy section of the city on Durham Street, the setting for The Magical Mrs. Iptweet and Me. She studied at the Tyler School of Art and is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She now lives near Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she works as a writer, a S.A.G. actor, an artist and as a puppeteer for Teatro Duende at the New Mexico Museum of Art.

New Mexico Book Association News

May 14: "Going Global: Selling Foreign Publication Rights"
NMBA Professional Development Workshop. Seating is limited--sign up now!
Two publishing professionals experienced in negotiating foreign rights contracts will tell you exactly how to move your book into worldwide markets at our NMBA Professional Development Workshop. This workshop will help publishers, who will learn how selling and buying foreign rights can boost their profits; authors, who will discover how going international can expand their readership and royalties; and others in the book business who will gain a new awareness of globalization in the publishing world.

May 14. 6:30 to 8:30pm with Ellen Kleiner, Roger Rapoport and Richard Harris. The Writers Room, 826 Camino del Monte Rey, 2nd Floor, Santa Fe. $15 NMBA members ($20 non-members). Contact Paula Lozar to secure your place: (505) 473-3479, lozarpaula@cs.com

Ellen Kleiner, director of Blessingway Authors' Services (http://www.blessingway.com), will share her experiences in negotiating book contracts around the world. Ellen has made nearly 100 international book deals so far in 19 countries, from the European Union to Korea, China, Russia, Japan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. The majority of her foreign rights sales have been for authors who self-published their works in the United States. She has also successfully represented bestselling New Mexico authors after major New York publishers failed to sell translation rights to their books.

Joining Ellen will be Roger Rapoport, publisher of RDR Books (http://www.rdrbooks.com) in Muskegon, Michigan. Roger has been going to international book fairs in London, Frankfurt, Bologna and elsewhere for 15 years, both to sell foreign rights to his company's titles and to expand his list by buying U.S. rights to books by overseas authors. He has spent much of this spring visiting European publishers to negotiate foreign rights to The Lexicon, RDR's controversial Harry Potter encyclopedia.

Richard Harris, our esteemed past president of NMBA, will moderate the discussion!
