SCBWI-Carolinas Conference 2018

Hey there! Got plans for the weekend of September 28th-30th?

No? Then come on down to Charlotte for the 25th Annual SCBWI Carolinas Conference! As usual, there’s an impressive roster of agents, editors, authors and illustrators on the faculty, with intensives, breakout sessions, manuscript critiques, portfolio reviews, plus an autograph party and plenty of socializing.

I’ll be leading a two-hour workshop on Writing the Rollicking Read-Aloud, a roll-up-your-sleeves session on strategies to engage young listeners. We’ll spend a good portion of our time together on rhyme—including some samples from workshop attendees. Want to contribute your own? Visit the faculty bio page for more info.

Early bird registration rates end August 3rd, which is also the last day to request a manuscript critique. Early bird hotel rates end July 31st.

So go register. Hope to see you there!
