I enjoyed the faculty presentations at our three day New England SCBWI conference this past weekend.

I appreciated a professional critique of my picture story book entitled My Grammy for All Seasons from Yolanda Leroy Scott, the Editorial Director of Charlesbridge. I will revise my story, and send it to Yolanda for a second peek. If I do not hear back from her in three months, it is considered a NO GO for Charlesbridge.

The Picture Book, Deconstructed with Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen demonstrated effective techniques for developing publishable picture book manuscripts of 650 words or less.

REVISION, REVISION, REVISION time, once again.
