Hittin' the Road...

Notes. Check. Business cards. Check. Books to give away. Check. Mapquest directions times 4. Check. I'm packing for a couple of events this weekend in the Cleveland area.

First, I'll be appearing (then disappearing) at the Joseph-Beth Cleveland location at 7 p.m. on Thursday (tomorrow). If you're in the area, please stop in. (I'd hate to throw a party and have no one show up.)

Then Friday night and Saturday I'll be participating in the Northern Ohio SCBWI Conference. I'm doing 2 breakout sessions: 22 Tips to Help You Get Published and (Almost) Everything I've Learned About Children's Publishing. The event also includes art reps Jeremy and Nicole Tugeau from Tugeau 2, editors Randy Rivers from Charlesbridge and Cecile Goyette from Knopf/Crown, and a host of authors.

I'm bringing along my laptop and my camera. I'll let you know if anything interesting happens.

Hello Ms. Pope. I attended your session at Joseph-Beth this evening. I think about my children's book all the time just don't seem to get around to doing anything about it so it's always encouraging to hear what I can do about it one day.
Meanwhile, you mentioned you drove here and, of course, that means you'll drive back. Thought you might be interested in some intelligent movie reviews to listen to on your drive (assuming you have an mp3 player that is!) This is what I do (I produce them) when I'm not writing my children's book series. (Well it will be.) Anyhow, you can read and hear all about the movies and great rental ideas by going to www.GREENLIGHTReviews.com. (As you'll see, we're fellow 'blogspot' people.)
Good luck on the rest of your weekend here in Cleveland. Joan HD Andrews
