DBW, SCBWI, My Webinar & WD Intensives...

I've been gone for more than a week, so I've got so much to talk about!

DBW & SCBWI
I got back from New York last night after attending both Digital Book World and the SCBWI Annual Winter conference. I hope you all were following the tweets (#dbw, #scbwiny10) and the SCBWI Conference Blog. (Mega kudos for my amazing TEAM BLOGgers Jaime, Jolie, Lee and Suzanne.)

TEAM BLOG, l to r: Lee Wind, Suzanne Young, Jaime Temairik, me, Jolie Stekly


One of the sessions I attended at DBW was on Digital Content and Marketing for the Born-Digital Generation. I wrote about it for DBW so click over to read about the cool and successful things Simon & Schuster, Harper and Scholastic are doing to reach out to their young, tech-savvy audience. Agent Holly Root of Waxman Literary also participated in the panel. She offered this advice to writers: "Reach readers, navigate the changing review landscape, use social media to its fullest."

UPCOMING EVENTS
If all the DBW and SCBWI conference coverage has you in the mood for an informative event (and you'd like some tips that can help you better follow Holly Root's advice), I've got a couple things coming up that might interest you.

First, I'm presenting an hour-long webinar focused on children's publishing called Get Your Children's Writing Published. I gave a similar webinar last year and I was thrilled to see a tweet about it the other day (YAY!):
@lkblackburne Last year, w/ no blog, no twitter account, and no clue, I took @alicepope 's Children's writing seminar. So worth it.

If you've got more than an hour to devote to learning, the Writer's Digest staff is offering one of our popular Editors' Intensives March 13-14. This event offers a day of programming, a one-on-one manuscript critique, and a some solid WD swag. Plus we can only fit a limited number of people in the WD HQ so there's an intimate feel and plenty of opportunity for interaction with WD staff. (You'll get all your questions answered!)

A side note: Thanks to everyone for your input on Twitter and Facebook throughout my week of conferencing. I so appreciate your comments, responses and retweets.

Team Blog rocks!
You guys did an amazing job. Even as an attendee, the blog was great for catching what I missed.

Hilary Wagner said...

Yes! I agree with Kim. The team blog made all us SCBWI members stuck in dreary Chicago feel like we were there too!

Great job to TEAM BLOG!!!!

من الافضل اختيار مكان الجلوس بعيدا عن منافذ الهواء والابواب والشبابيك حتي تتجنبي الغبار المتطاير في الجو .

شركة تنظيف بالاحساء
ازيلي الغبار اولا عن الكنب ومن ثم امسحيه بالقماشه المبلوله فذلك سيمنع تكون طبقه كبيره من الغبار ويمكن ان تتحول الي طبقه غبار صعب ازالتها ويجب مراعاه عند ازاله الاتربه استخدام فرشاه او اداه ناعمه وذلك لمنع حدوث اي ضرر او تشوه للنسيج .
عند تنظيف الكنب بالماء او وقوع الماء عليه اتركيه يجف طبيعيا او استخدمي قطعه قماش قطنيه لامتصاص الماء او قومي بتسليط مكيف الهواء او المروحه عليه ليجف حتي لايتسرب الماء الي داخل النسيج ويتسبب في تعفن النسيج .

Fatumnasi sebagai teritori yang mempunyai luas seputar 198,65 km persegi. Teritori yang dikuasai oleh pegunungan, dan perkebunan, dan mempunyai udara yang paling sejuk.

Saat hari mulai sore, jalan ke arah https://portalwisataindonesia.com/ Fatumnasi sedikit akan berkabut. Sudah pasti, kabut yang berada di seputar jalan, bersatu dengan view alam seputar, jadi sebuah sajian pemandangan yang paling eksotis.
