SCBWI 2010 Summer Conference in LA, are you going?
April 07, 2010
One day I will have publishing deadlines (the thought freaks me out). Why not give myself a deadline for my book. Not just finish my book but have it finished, critiqued, redacted, reviewed, cleaned, and polished by the conference. I'm halfway through writing it, so I think this is a plausible goal for me. You never know when a pitching opportunity can come about and if I am finished, I will be ready.
To learn more about SCBWI go here or more about the conference go here. They also have a conference blog here.
Do you plan to attend?

If I wrote childrens books, I would totally go, if for no other reason than to visit LA. I do intend on going to a conference this year though...just have to pick the right one.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have a goal you feel you can achieve. No better motivation!
"childrens books" that title bugs me but I know it is common to include YA in that category, which is what I write. Yes, I know under 18 classifies as minor but I guess the 16 year old in me still baulks at being called a child.
ReplyDeleteOkay now that I totally sound offended I'm not, just to clarify.
I wish I could. Sounds wonderful. Take business cards with you to pass around. And network as much as you can. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I could go! It would be awesome. But alas, duty calls, er rather, my three young children wouldn't have a babysitter.
ReplyDeleteKathi - I am having special personal business cards printed up to take with me. I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteBethany - oh snag! those pesky little angels. I was hopping to meet some blog big wigs during conference. Maybe next time.
I'm going!!! Can't wait to register. Only a few more days to go.:)
ReplyDeleteLove hearing from my friends.♥
