I'll Be Live Blogging from the SCBWI Conference in New York!...

Right now I'm in my second day of being held hostage in my house by snow and ice. But it's stopped snowing, and I'm sure the snow emergency will be lifted tomorrow. And I'm assuming everyone at the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is working really hard on the runways so I will have no trouble or delay for my trip to New York on Friday.

Yep--Friday I'm headed to NYC for the SCBWI Annual Winter Conference and I'll be serving as SCBWI's Official Blogger from the conference floor! I'll have my laptop and my iPhone and I'll be keeping you abreast of all the conference happenings throughout Saturday and Sunday. (I get in Friday afternoon, so I'll offer a few Friday posts as well.)

Here's where you can my find SCBWI conference news as it happens:

  • For my SCBWI conference reports, visit the as-yet-unpopulated SCBWI conference blog. (I'm going to work on that next.)
  • You can follow SCBWI on Twitter for some quick and dirty updates.
  • You can follow me on Twitter for those I'm-totally-in-the-elevator-with-Richard-Peck tweets as well as some scoopage from the Friday night VIP party during which I will mingle with Very Important publishing peeps and tweet anything noteworthy.
  • And if you're on facebook, you can join the Fans of SCBWI group and follow the status updates.
It will be almost as if you're all there in person!

(Now I'm off to plan my outfits.)

And for those of us who *will* be there--you know, us yet-to-be-published nobodies who have been following your blog for ages--can we find you and say hi?

I'm afraid i will HAVE to bring the laptop. Otherwise, I can't blog either!!!

However, I need to remember WHY i'm going. (to pass out brownies and enchiladas while wearing my crown...)

Serious multi-tasking, Alice. Getting the SCBWI conference blog going AND planning the outfits.

It's very strange not to be there this year, but so glad I'll be able to tag along with you through the blog and twitter!
