The East Coast’s largest pop culture convention, New York Comic Con returns this week (October 12-15, 2023) at Javits Center located at 429 11th Avenue. Carolyn Belefski and Joe Carabeo (Curls Studio) will be at Booth #2048 all four days. The location is on show floor level 3. 

Curls Studio will have a revised Black Magic Tales 154 page omnibus comic book that has every Black Magic Tales story that has been told until this moment in time. We will have several of our hard enamel pins available for purchase — including the two pins produced in 2023 (Red Rose and Firefly). We will also have prints of Avocado, which was produced recently. Carolyn Belefski’s new character Pineapple Chic will premiere at this year’s NYCC as a glitter sticker.

Carolyn Belefski will be signing at National Cartoonists Society Booth #4106 this Thursday 4:00 PM – 7:00PM and Friday 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

National Book Festival 2023

I was asked by US Library of Congress to moderate the panel “How Sara Shepard Made a Best Friend” on Saturday, August 12, 2023 from 10:20-10:45 AM at the National Book Festival. 

Walter E. Washington Convention Center – Room 204 (Level 2, South Building) 
801 Mount Vernon Place NW, Washington, DC 20001 
Stage: Discovery Stage 

Fifth grade is full of surprises: good, bad, silly, weird—you name it. The first installment of a new middle grade series, Sara Shepard’s “Penny Draws a Best Friend” follows young Penny Lowry as she navigates changing friendships, a family secret and her feelings of anxiety. Moderated by Carolyn Belefski.

Sara Shepard is the New York Times bestselling author of two young adult series, Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game, which were both adapted for television. She has written several books for adults including “Everything We Ever Wanted.” Shepard has a Master of Fine Arts from Brooklyn College and currently lives in Pennsylvania. Her latest book, “Penny Draws a Best Friend,” is the first of a middle grade series.

Hope to see you there — the National Book Festival is free for all to attend.
