SCBWI Conference in New York
I just returned from the Society of Children’s Book Writer’s and Illustrator’s conference in NYC. I was able to show my portfolio and meet some great people.
Favorite moments:
- Hearing Julie Andrews and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton talk about how they collaborate when writing a book. This was particularly interesting to me since my husband and I work together often.
- Mo Williems talking about the story versus the hook (Oh, that’s Deborah!) I think most people were expecting him to be a great speaker, but I was happily surprised to find him entertaining and informative.
- Listening to Kate Fletcher, Editor at Candlewick Press, talk about the company and what she wants to publish. I’ve always liked the books published by Candlewick, but finding out more about the company and how they support their authors was really interesting and inspiring.
Here are some photos of the trip.
