SCBWI Southern Breeze Springmingle 2012

What I love most about the SCBWI are the people. I LOVE the Southern Breezers. I'm on their listserve and get to visit with them every summer at the Summer Conference. I wish I could attend Springmingle. If you are anywhere near Atlanta, go!  With agents, editors, writers--even a Newbery Honor Winner--it sounds like a blast....

If you’re serious about the children’s book market, you need to attend Springmingle 2012, Feb. 24-26, 2012 at the Atlanta Marriott Century Center.
 
Springmingle is presented by the Southern Breeze Region of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, the world’s largest professional organization for authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults.

 
At Springmingle, you’ll learn how to raise the level of your work and improve your chances of getting published. You’ll meet editors and agents who are looking for new talent. And you’ll connect with other authors and illustrators of children’s literature. You can also receive critiques from professionals and peers.
 
The conference faculty includes:

·        Kirby Larson, author of 10 books for young readers, including the 2007 Newbery Honor winner, Hattie Big Sky

·        Greg Ferguson, editor and art director at Egmont USA

·        Kristin Daly Rens, senior editor at Balzer & Bray / HarperCollins

·        Mary Kole, associate agent with Andrea Brown Literary Agency

·        Andy Runton, creator of OWLY graphic novels

 
The conference begins on Friday with an intensive workshop on novel writing with author Kirby Larson. (An additional fee applies.)
 
Conference tuition is $190 for SCBWI members, $220 for non-members, or $200 for students. Advance registration is required and spaces are limited. Register by Jan. 21 and receive a $5 discount.
