It looks like you had a wonderful time at the conference and I think your advice at the end tells me everything I need to know. :) Thanks for sharing. I definitely plan to join. <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600322131005020674.post-53807650115782295632014-08-15T12:26:52.610-07:002014-08-15T12:26:52.610-07:00Joining SCBWI put me in touch with a lot of writer...Joining SCBWI put me in touch with a lot of writers in my area.

I'm not so sure any of my books fit into the YA or MG definition of modern times, given the differing realities of young people historically, but SCBWI would be something I'd like to join someday if any of my books could still pass as youth literature and not regular fiction that just happens to feature young people.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600322131005020674.post-60009921038597966712014-08-04T08:27:19.411-07:002014-08-04T08:27:19.411-07:00I would love to go to a big conference and meet my...I would love to go to a big conference and meet my fellow blogging/writing buddies.
