Hats off to our local SCBWI RA, Alexis O'Neill, for putting on a fabulous picture book retreat at the Santa Barbara Mission last weekend: workshops on manuscripts, first pages, poetry and word dummies, and two nights of partying with four back east editors (who were loving the 80 degree weather, by the way). A big thank you to all the editors--Ruta Rimas, Kathy Landwher, Kate Fletcher, and Lisa Graff--for their kindness, generosity, and inspiration. I plan a Youtube piece about the weekend soon.
