I launched the first ever Hay Festival of Literature on YA cli-fi in 2015 - with my book Stormteller and Saci Lloyd with her Carbon Diaries and we were discussing YA books from over 10 years earlier. We got accused of poisoning children's minds!DavidKThorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04215770376688861114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765484649480956317.post-57968474080703150322018-01-28T21:54:45.542-08:002018-01-28T21:54:45.542-08:00I tweeted this -- Cli-fi - Climate Fiction in C...I tweeted this -- Cli-fi - Climate Fiction in Children's Literature and 2019 MLA Conference has cli-fi as its theme for next year -- http://www.cynthianugent.com/2018/01/clifi-climate-fiction-in-childrens.html #ClifiDANIELBLOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130493903696077379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765484649480956317.post-78581753163595619382018-01-28T21:51:17.774-08:002018-01-28T21:51:17.774-08:00Wow, 2019 MLA Conference with cli-fi theme, I didn...Wow, 2019 MLA Conference with cli-fi theme, I didn't know this. Thanks for heads up. How far we have travelled in just a few short years. It was in April 2013 when NPR sounded the first cli-fi alaarm with five minute radio segment on air and in print about "a hot new genre dubbed cli-fi." Google it to hear it again. Cynthia, I coinde the term as a call for action and a platform for novelists and short story writers and YA novelists and movie directors to use to tell their climate change related stories. It's working. The genre is catching on. Do keep in touch and see my website for more links and info at The Cli-Fi Report at www.cli-fi.net ---- cheers, Dan Bloom in Taiwan. WOW, MLA 2019, I am impressed!DANIELBLOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130493903696077379noreply@blogger.com
