A+Very+Happy+Halloween+Mixer

On October 30th, the ECC celebrated Halloween with our good friends at YPG!

The event was held at The Dove Parlour, a classy cocktail bar in downtown Manhattan. As promised, there were happy hour specials, too much candy, and spooktacular contests! An array of literary costumes came out including Pippi Longstocking, the Mad Hatter, the tiny fish from This Is Not My Hat, Beatrice Prior, Arthur the aardvark, Olivia the pig, and Fionna the human. The winner of the costume contest was Eileen Savage (Viking Children’s Books) as a stunning Mary Poppins! There were about 70 young publishing folk in attendance — The Dove Parlour was filled to capacity with literary Halloween fun.
