The press release of the 7^th United States National Book Festival, to be held September 29 in Washington D.C., includes Terry Pratchett in its list of participating authors under the “Fiction and Fantasy” category.  The free, open-to-the-public festival, organized by the Library of Congress and hosted by Laura Bush, is a “celebration of the joy of reading and the creativity of America’s writers and illustrators,” in the words of Librarian of Congress James H. Billington.  Terry Pratchett is among about 70 well-known writers and illustrators who will be participating, including Mercer Mayer, Rosemary Wells, Gail Carson Levine, Gene Luen Yang, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lalita Tademy.  Participating writers will give presentations, sign books, read excerpts, and answer questions from audience members.
