Lori Calabrese who has an awesome writer’s resource of her own has just honored WRITING FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS with the Brillante Weblog Premio award. I can only assume by the name of this award that it comes from somewhere in Italy–I feel very chic! As part of the goodness that the Brillante award is, I’d like to pass it on to … Snoop, envelope, please ….
If you’ll be at the annual SCBWI conference in LA, come say Hi! I look forward to meeting you! And if you’ve never gone to this one before, it’s a must-do! My first annual conference experience was truly unforgettable. You can read about it here.
Here are more highlights from last year.
And the year before.
Happy conferencing,
Cynthea
The Free-tique round this month had to be canceled due to unforseen circumstances. Keep an eye out for future free-tique round announcements.
This week we have Gayle C. Krause whose debut picture book Rock Star Santa will be released this winter with Scholastic. Rock Star Santa depicts a unique Christmas Eve involving a child and a different side of Santa. Gayle also writes MG and YA historical fiction, fantasy and contemporary novels. She is a reviewer of children’s books for Children’s Literature.com and holds a M.S. degree in Elementary Education.
Hey everyone,
Winners of the last free-tique round were just declared. If you did not receive an email, do know that Snoop enjoyed your answers and he hopes to hear from you again in the next free-tique round.
Now look out July!
This week, we have Meg Medina, a Cuban American writer who works in picture books, middle grade fiction and young adult fiction. Her work blends traditions of Latin American literature with modern concerns of growing up. (Snoop says, WOAH!) She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her husband and three children.
THIS FREETIQUE ROUND IS CLOSED.
Hey everyone,
This is what we’re doing this month. READ THE COMPLETE RULES BELOW before emailing Snoop. Breaking a rule may make your email subject to Snoop’s chomping. So read this carefully.
