This was my first SCBWI
conference. Talented faculty, high
quality content in sessions, and networking opportunities made the conference a
beneficial experience.
The conference organizers pulled together
faculty who represent various roles and areas of expertise. I learned both fundamentals and quirky tips from
this impressive group.
Sessions were worthwhile
and fun.
A spirit of goodwill was evident
and the atmosphere was inspiring. I’ll
share one experience that occurred following Kelly Milner Halls’ keynote
address. As we applauded, a woman turned
to me and said, “Beautiful.” This one
word uttered with such sincere appreciation and the expression on this woman’s
face linger in my thoughts. I have no
doubt that, like me, the inspired woman will return to her work feeling more
encouraged and less isolated.
Thank you to the organizers,
faculty, and volunteers for making it an enjoyable conference. I’m grateful for your talent, time, and dedication.
