Wow. What an amazing conference. The SCBWI Florida Mid-Year Conference at the Walt Disney World Yacht Club, Orlando, was an amalgam of fabulous new material, collegiality and interesting people.
I attended the Picture Book Intensive lead by Andrea Davis Pinkney, a New York Times best-selling and award-winning author and editor at Scholastic, Inc. and by Sylvie Frank, associate editor at Holiday House. Both women did a marvelous job discussing the intricacies of picture book writing and marketing.
It was my pleasure to conduct the all-day workshop on non-fiction with Deb Noyes Wayshak, editor-at-large at Candlewick Press.
I want to thank those who attended our workshop. It was so lovely to work with you.
Deb and I wish you well in your pursuit of fair use and thorough research in the writing fun, exciting and worthy non-fiction.
All of my expectations were fulfilled. New friends were met. New information and ideas were learned. What an august group. Being an author rocks!
