Promo graphic for my upcoming appearance at the amazing Gaithersburg Book Festival on May 16! Background is a lush shade of green with a band of fuchsia-pink at the bottom. The Gaithersburg Book Festival logo appears at the top. Under that are the words "Featured Author" in fuchsia script followed by a photo of me (Michelle Knudsen) and the book cover of my Nebula-finalist middle grade fantasy adventure novel, INTO THE WILD MAGIC. To the right of the book cover is a bird graphic. The bird has book pages for wings and is holding a pink flower in its little feet. At the bottom right in white letters are the details: May 16, 10am–6pm, Bohrer Park.
Come see me at the Gaithersburg Book Festival on Saturday, 5/16! It's a full-day celebration of books & storytelling for all ages, littles through adults. I'll be presenting at 3:15pm with @sayantani.bsky.social & @shanatargosz.bsky.social - please join us! www.gaithersburgbookfestival.org #GBF2026
