I have been writing just over a year and have been involved in SCBWI LA 2011, WriteonCon and just this last week a writer's retreat with SCBWI Nevada. All so different and yet so valuable. This last one I was twice in a crit group with agent, Jen Rofe, whose advice was ultra helpful and direct! One of the great things for me is having made truly great friends at these conferences. I was in Nevada because of the people I had met in LA in August. Great advice here from Julie, many thanks.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633484787634197878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675047530592600496.post-91006635264637883712012-05-28T19:29:35.221-04:002012-05-28T19:29:35.221-04:00You have a fabulous blog!

It's open to emerging and established writers, and the focus is on the craft rather than publication (although there are plenty of opportunities for networking and learning about marketing, publishing, etc.) We have some fo the best faculty in the world teaching workshops - this year it'll be Peter H. Reynolds, Kate McMullan, Cynthia and Greg Leitich-Smith and Patricia McCormick, and there will be electives and special events led by some of the best movers and shakers in the business... It's a life changer. Admission has just been extended to June 1.
