Blog -- Alice Pope's SCBWI Children's Market Blog

Those of you who belong to SCBWI (the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators), and if you don't belong YOU SHOULD, should be familiar with the name, Alice Pope.

She runs the SCBWI's Children's Market blog. Now, don't go thinking that all she talks about is markets, although that's good too. She also talks about conferences, writing, books, and authors. Her current post talks about some of the author/ speakers and the SCBWI-LA Conference coming up in August. Click and enjoy. -wo

Normally I hate articles that list what NOT to do.
Okay, that's the wrong way -- what's the right way?

blocked?

I apologize to anyone who tried to enter my butterfly guessing contest (see below) and couldn't get through. For some reason, that I don't understand, blogger blocked my blog. (I love alliteration, don't you? I guess blogger does too.

Is it offensive to talk about writing and butterflies and libraries and books? You tell me.

(If you can see this message, it means that blogger has unblocked me and you can begin guessing, again. Hint -- as of today, August 2nd, none of them have emerged.)

----I'm free! Unblocked!
In celebration, I invite all of you to mosey on over to Alice Pope's blog. She is at the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' National conference in Los Angeles and is blogging about the sessions she attends.
