The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins will be going on tour this fall, to talk about the third and final book in her trilogy, Mockingjay.
Scholastic announced Collins' 12-city tour this morning, along with news that Mockingjay would get an increased first printing of 1.2 million copies.
Mockingjay is due out in the U.S. on August 24th.
Collins will begin her tour in August -- with stops in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and Boston.
In September, she will visit Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. In October, she travels to Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul. In November, she'll make her final tour stops in Northern California, Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.
This is Collins' first bookstore tour since September 2008, when The Hunger Games was first published.
In a press release about the increased printing and the author tour, Ellie Berger, President of Scholastic Trade Publishing said, "Excitement for The Hunger Games trilogy continues to grow each day as new readers discover Suzanne Collins's indelible heroine Katniss Everdeen. We join Collins's many fans in counting down to the publication of Mockingjay."
