Heather: Good luck on your pitch!

Kristi: I think when we’re writing the query, we don’t realize how many times we can mention the title. One time is the charm.

Christina: Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Good luck on your move back to Orlando from Korea! Maybe I’ll see you at a future SCBWI Florida conference.

These are really great tips for me. I am glad you stated not to mention the title in the story.

This is fabulous advice! And just in time since I’m attending the NYC Pitch conference in less than three weeks! I’m printing this out, you’re the bomb.

Hi Jessica Thanks for stopping by.

The conference is open to anyone — you can get a discount if you’re a SCBWI member but you don’t have to be a Florida SCBWI member to attend. I’m a member of the Southern Breeze chapter but because of the short distance from Atlanta, I also tend to go to the Florida, Mid-South, and Carolinas SCBWI conferences.

The Mid-Year workshop is an annual affair as well as their January conference — which is already in the works and looks awesome.

You can get an idea of the cost of the conferences by visiting the website at http://www.scbwiflorida.com
