Literary Map Brochure Information
As you know, a display of affiliate-produced literary maps is a standard feature of the NCTE Annual Convention. This display, (The Gallery of Literary Maps), receives quite a bit of traffic from convention goers. Many who stop to study the maps pick up the brochure, which is available both at the map display and at the affiliate booth in the exhibit hall.
This brochure needs revision to include an updated list of contacts for the maps but also to include information on resource materials and products that supplement the maps and prices for the maps and materials. In addition to the literary map brochure, it would also be great to have available a comprehensive list of materials and products available from affiliates. Please consult the list. If everything is OK as printed, please indicate this on the Affiliate Literary Maps Form and return it to NCTE by JULY 15.
