North Texas SCBWI Conference in September 2017
What a fun conference it was! Exceptional faculty and such wonderful kid lit community -- definitely a memorable weekend. It was really nice to spend time with peers, meet friends, make new ones, talk craft and business, laugh and connect. I got to share my good news of publication and book releases (first pic below) and, hopefully, was able to inspire new writers to persist and not give up as they work toward their goals. Can't wait to see what's next in our journeys and where we meet again.
When: Saturday, August 26, 2017 - 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. ; Saturday, April 28, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. Where: Bookmarks (in the NorthCourt of North Park Mall)
