Do you know where you will be on May 16th & 17th?
I know where I’ll be. I will be at the same place as Ellen Hopkins, Grace Lin, Adam Rex, Ambassor of Literature for Young People Jon Scieszka, and a whole slew of other marvelous authors, illustrators, editors, & agents. It is truly an amazing line up. We will all be just across the water from Seattle conferring and having a jolly ol’time for TWO SOLID DAYS of kid lit creativity at the SCBWI Western Washington’s 18th Annual Conference. We put on a mean conference. Mean, but welcoming. We’re very friendly. Plus, there’s carousing. I can practically guarantee carousing.
Kevan Atteberry designed this handy dandy poster, with thanks to Adam for lending us his Frankenstein.

I promise it will be fun. Go find more information and register here.

Kudos! I’m going to register right now. No wonder we haven’t seen much of Laurie lately!

Kim – You left a nice comment on my blog awhile back and I honestly don’t know if I ever answered you. I did in my head but it’s not there on my page! Anyway, thanks (again?)
That conference looks fantastic – wish I could be there.
Take care,
Sara
