Oops! Looks like I colored outside the lines a little there. But this way you can see us better.
We met in a lovely old building with lots of dark wood that houses Harmony Cafe in Appleton, WI. And the event was just what it sounds like: Attendees asked questions about working with agents and editors, and we shared our experiences. Researching, querying, revising, publicizing, deciding when a book is ready to query, when you should or shouldn't do an R&R (revise and resubmit), subsidiary rights -- all these and more were covered. Lunch was included, during which there was plenty of friendly chat; it's amazing how talkative a roomful of introverts can actually be. It would have been great to be able to stay longer and share more, which I guess is very much a sign of a successful event. A good time was had by all!

You all look so happy! But of course, introverts are full of chatter when it's about the right thing! I am energized at writing events.
Vijaya -- I think that's what a lot of people like about them -- they're energizing.
Sounds wonderful! It's always so great to discuss writing topics with like-minded people!
Great picture! I see Miranda in there with you. :)
This sounds like a super neat event! I'd love to attend something like this and pick authors' brains. Also, I love that Dream Big tshirt- I need one! I like you sweater, too. =)
SCBWI events are always inspiring, aren't they? Glad you had a good time.
Kelly -- You know Miranda? Very cool! :)
Leandra -- It was a really nice event. And thank you.:) Melissa's T-shirt fits her forthcoming book, which is called ARROWS.
Joanne -- They are, indeed.
Andrea -- I think so many writers have the experience of finding their tribe at events like this.
I'm an introvert, but I sure talk a lot during certain situations, especially with a topic I love. Looks like a great meeting.
How awesome! That sounds like a wonderful convention and one I would have liked to attend.

Medeia -- Yes, all it takes is a topic we *want* to extrovert about.
Crystal -- Local events can be a shot in the arm and a nice alternative to a pricier conference.
