Anyone going to the SCBWI summer conference?

If so we should meet up.

I am! I am! I just signed up! Who else? We should have an SVS lunch or something

@holleywilliamson Awesome! If nobody else from SVS is there, you can join up with me and my SCBWI local group.

@Rich-Green We have a little thread going for the event. Just fyi

@eric-castleman Great idea Eric!

This is so amazing! I wish I could meet up with all of you but I'm in another country. Maybe not now but in the future.

I was considering it but just attended a local SCBWI conference in Oregon and my brain and spirit feels like they've been put through a wringer twice. Not sure I'm ready for the big leagues. For those of you who attend, it would be great if you could share your experiences and insights afterwards.

@johanna-kim for sure. I am attending a Dan Santat talk tomorrow which is 6 hours long, in which he goes over his entire process of writing and illustration his books. I was planning on taking a ton of notes and making a post dedicated to it for everyone here Sunday or Monday. I will do the same for the conference.

@eric-castleman I am looking forward to reading your experience with Santat's talk--thanks in advance. I actually just checked out two of his books today, Beekle and Are We There Yet? They're both so good, esp. the latter. You can tell he's really enjoying the process of creating a final product that's entertaining for kids and adults.

Hi everyone! I just booked my hotel room for the conference. If you don't want to drive back and forth to the conference and I am willing to share my room. Feel free to message me
