Mad Cave Goes To ALA 2023!

See you soon, Chicago! Convention season is in full swing, and we’ll be making our next stop at ALA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Chicago, Illinois! From June 22nd through 27th, you can catch us at Booth #1423 in the heart of McCormick Place, along with our Young Adult graphic novel imprint, Maverick, and our newly-acquired Middle-Grade imprint, Papercutz.

This year at ALA, attendees will have the chance to preview some of the most buzzworthy titles coming soon to your local bookstore, and meet with illustrious authors Jennie Wood (Paper Planes), Jeremy Whitley (School For Extraterrestrial Girls), and Art Baltazar (YAHGZ)!

From previews of upcoming books, creator signings, panels, and even button-making, we’ve got a week filled with Summer Reading fun that dreams are made of. You can check out our full lineup of creator signings and panels by date below!

"The Tiger’s Tongue was engrained with passion, family intrigue and a sometimes-dark reality." -Martin Sexton

“Showdowns culminate in an emotional conclusion as hubris meets personal sacrifice. The twists will keep readers on their toes in what proves a captivating tale.” -Publisher’s Weekly

“The story is vibrant and fresh, just what the comic book world needs... It’s smart, refreshing, and a great addition to the already great library Mad Cave has amassed.” -Nolan P. Smith
