I’m looking forward to going to my first SCBWI conference later this month. I’ve been to AWP before, but that veers to the literary fiction side and I also attended with my fellow grad students. I’ve heard fantastic things about the SCBWI conferences and I’m psyched to attend a weekend of kid lit-related events.
In case I get bitten by the conference-bug (and find a huge amount of expendable income), I’ve got this fantastic list of 2012 conferences over at A Fuse #8 Production. Lifetime goals? Hit the ALA conference, Comic Con, and the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.
What conferences or events are on your calendar this year?
I went to SCBWI LA in August and it was outstanding. NY should be spectacular as well.
My conference list this year is limited to those where I will be presenting – they cover travel costs! I’m happy it includes some warmer climates. *looks outside the window and shivers*
Smart move!
