Conference Connection:

Our new regional advisor Heather Price, and her staff -setting up the registration table.

     
         If you've never been to an SCBWI conference you're really missing out. 
       An SCBWI conference is a chance to​

• connect with others in the field,
• learn from professionals,

• and get your questions answered, etc

​

In short,  if you're an author or illustrator -  it's like a vitamin B12 shot of ideas and information.

I challenge you non-conferencers to give it a try. 

Portfolios and books await...

Voting begins for the calendar contest.

Everyone enjoyed the Meet & Greet

     Also... I had the opportunity to speak with industry experts

•  Nikki Garcia  of Little Brown
• author Mary Kay Carson, - author of over 50 books
• agent Marie Lamba, agent extraordinaire
• and art director Loraine Joyner of Peachtree Publishing

              - to name a few!


      Attendees could choose between six great intensive sessions.
    I had a great time in the Prose, Poetry and Lyrical language
​    with the amazing Shutta Crum, (check out her website: Shutta.com)
 
              Such a fabulous conference!  Thanks SCBWI:)
