On Thursday afternoon, I jetted down to Orlando, Florida so that I can participate in the 2010 SCBWI Florida Mid-Year Workshop and Intensives.
When I first found out about this conference, I knew that I wanted to attend. It is going to FABULOUS!
I’m most excited about the Novel Intensive. Author Kathleen Duey, editor Stephanie Owens Lurie of Disney-Hyperion, and editor Alvina Ling of Little Brown will be leading this workshop, which will focus on the craft of writing. I met Kathleen Duey at another SCBWI conference in 2008 and she was mesmerizing and so down to earth, so I can’t wait for this one.
Saturday is the Mid-Year workshop where I’m taking the Novel Track. There are several other tracks as well (Picture Book, Middle-Grade, Series, and even a Marketing track). Author Danielle Joseph and editor Brian Farrey of Flux will be spear-heading the Novel Track.
So just like I did with the 2010 SCBWI Springmingle conference, I’ll be sending out tweets when I can. You can follow me at www.twitter.com/KarenMusings.
Next week, I’ll delve into all the juicy details of what I learned at this conference — which I’m sure will include many gems of inspiration and information.
Stay tuned next week!
Everyone have a GREAT weekend! Try and make some time to work on your novel projects.
Have a great time! Come away inspired!
This sounds like such a great thing — I’m sure you’ll learn a lot and have a lot of fun!
Sounds like a great conference! I can’t wait to hear all the details. Good luck!
Lucky you! Enjoy every moment! :)
It was a great conference, and I was pleased to finally meet you.
