SCBWI Springmingle Conference.



MEET:

Other local writers and artists, published and unpublished.

We'll mostly be talking about the "so this is what happens when you sell a book" aspect of publishing since we're all still in the early stages of that. I know, I sold nearly a YEAR ago, and I'm still in the early stages. Such is the book world!

As for me, it's back to copy edits today...

Maureen: No, but perhaps that is a topic we should tackle for a future workshop. I think Holly would TOTALLY approve! ;)
