SCBWI National Conference


I’ve returned to work after spending the weekend at the SCBWI National Conference http://www.scbwi.org/Conference.aspx?Con=2 It was a particularly good list of speakers this year, including the delightful Jennifer Hunt, literary genius Sherman Alexie, illustrators David Wiesner and Dan Yaccarino, agents Steven Malk and Sarah Davies, who gave insightful presentations, as well as many, many other writers, editors, and others, talking craft and business.
