SCBWI Schmooze

 Kara and her turtle; me and DQC; and Sally and her knit-doll after the panel.

A big thank you to Cathy C. Hall and Debra Tiefel Mayhew for hosting me at the SCBWI Southern Breeze schmooze.

I explained my somewhat convoluted path to publication and shared what I learned working with editors at AAL/Scholastic and Boyds Mill Press.

The coolest part was being part of a "First Pages Panel" with Kara Levy Beitz and Sally Apokedak.  The talent was impressive and analyzing what worked and what didn't was incredibly helpful.  Thanks again, Southern Breeze!
