HIT: Author Poster for LMC

[Gina Powell <Gina.Powell@NN.K12.VA.US>]

I would like to thank all that have responded to my posting. Please =
continue to send me any more suggestions!=20
Here are some of the responses I received for the following post:

I would like to showcase a bulletin board outside of my elementary LMC =
entitled, "Author of the Month." I would like to know where I can order =
posters of various children's authors that include a brief bio of the =
author, a picture and pictures of their book jackets . I would prefer to =
have a poster with all of this information as opposed to downloading the =
stuff from the internet and searching for book jackets.

If you have to do it the hard way, you scan the book covers into your =
computer
and print and laminate them. I couldn't get the local shop to photocopy =
them in color because it was copyrighted material!

Check with Scholastic - even at Scholastic.com. I believe they have an =
author page. I noticed in the classroom they featured an author every =
month in their book order "catalogs". Perhaps you could use - free of =
charge - to get started. It always had a picture and information about =
the featured book. It may not be exactly what you want, but it'll be a =
start. Good luck!

Upstart has a set of posters about writers, but no jacket photos. That =
have nice photos though.

There is a series of poster books called Meet he Authors. This might be =
what you want.

It seems to me that Perma-Bound does a calendar that the sales =
representatives give away that features an author a month, but these =
would be small posters. Have you checked Demco and Highsmith and ALA =
Graphics?
