SCBWI Dakotas

This past weekend, I attended the regional SCBWI Dakotas Writers and Illustrators Conference in Sioux Falls, SD. The presenters were amazing with much information gained by all. The networking opportunities with publishing professionals were wonderful as well. Members of the faculty included Chris Richman, Agent with Upstart Crow Literary; Lindsay Schlegel, Editor with Simon and Schuster; Chris Browne, Illustrator and cartoonist of the syndicated comic strip Hagar the Horrible; Rebecca Johnson, Author; Chris Rylander, Author and Regional Advisor for the SCBWI Dakotas. Stay tuned for more to come about these wonderful presenters and the insightful information and tips shared by them.

  1. Hi Karin! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog. Fun to find yours too. Even though we didn't get a chance to really chat, now I have a face (and a pretty one at that) to go with the name. So nice to cross paths even just in our brushing past in the excitement of the day. :) Happy writing and living this week!

  2. Thanks for stopping by, Jane and Roxane! It was a hectic and exciting day at the conference. It is nice to cross paths with everyone, even briefly. I've explored both of your blogs intermittently (most wonderful way to procrastinate I know!) and have enjoyed them both a lot. I look forward to reading more soon. Good luck with the new site, Roxane! I think it is a wonderful way to focus on writing. Have a great week as well.
