I’m excited because I get to attend my first writing conference of the year. I plan to attend at least three more conferences this year as well — and I’ll be sure to tell you all about them.
Springmingle ’10 is sponsored by the Southern Breeze chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). The conference starts on Friday and ends on Sunday.
Here are the faculty and keynote speakers:
Jane Yolen, Author – Keynote Speaker
Cheryl Klein, Senior Editor – Arthur A. Levine Books
Meredith Mundy, Senior Editor – Sterling Publishing Co.
Josh Adams, Agent – Adams Literary Agency
Loraine Joyner, Art Director – Peachtree Publishers
You can also check out the conference schedule to get a taste of the lineup of workshops for the weekend.
And if you follow me on Twitter, I’ll be posting updates live from the conference. Next week, all of my posts will be about what I found interesting and/or what I learned from the workshops and faculty.
Be sure to stay tuned!
So exciting! I’m going to live vicariously through you if you don’t mind :) We don’t get many conferences up here in small city Canada!
Feel free Jemi!
Just got in from Day 1 and I can’t wait to hear Jane Yolen’s keynote speech tomorrow.
Be sure to check next week’s posts where I’ll focus on what I learned from the workshops.
Have fun!!!! And get inspired!
What a great lineup of speakers! Have a wonderful time!!
