Online Resources
You don’t have to write romance to appreciate the articles on the Romance University website. If you’re writing fiction, then you’ll want to check it out.
Another resource to check out is the Pitch University. There are all kinds of lessons for writing your pitch. Perfecting timing for conference season.
Conference News
For writers and illustrators of kidlit, registration for the national SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators) conference in Los Angeles (August 5th – 8th) begins today at noon EST. Because of the high demand for some of the workshops (which you have to register separately for at an additional fee), you’ll want to register ASAP. Spots fill up quickly (often within the first day of registration).
There have been some huge changes to the format this year. The main conference (keynote speakers, breakout sessions, manuscript and illustration critiques) takes place August 5th-7th , and the intensive writer and illustrator workshops will take place on August 8th.
If you have any other conference news (since I can’t keep track of all the different writer organizations), but let everyone know in the comments. Your fellow writers will greatly appreciate it.
