Conference | Cathy C. Hall Writes

If you haven’t become an SCBWI member yet, maybe the latest newsletter from my region, Southern Breeze, will spur you on!

The newsletter’s online now, so it’s easily accessible right here. What makes this particular newsletter a keeper is all the information, not to mention registration form, for the fall conference in Birmingham. I can’t believe the great line-up scheduled for this event-and I don’t know how I’m going to cram everything in that I’d like to do.

But where there’s a will, there’s a way. And thank goodness, I know the way to Birmingham! Join me there in October. (But first, go finish reading the newsletter. And read al-l-l-l the way to the end. Because that’s where you’ll find my article, “While You Are Waiting”!)

If you’re big on blogging about children’s literature, you’ll want to attend the Kidlitosphere Conference in Washington this October 17th.

But you know what? Even if you’re not a blogger, this conference might be perfect for you. Because it may give you that push you need to start a blog. It will definitely address any questions you might have, and inspire you along the way.

Look at some of these conference offerings: Building a Better Blog, Social Networking for Fun (and Profit?), and Coming Together, Giving Back.

It’s just one day, and it’s just $100. It’s in Washington, which might be very convenient if you live around Washington. Um, maybe not so convenient if you don’t.

Still, if you’re planning on taking a little trip, a one-day conference may fit in nicely. And hey, you can blog all about it!
