Does anyone else know about this online Picture Book Summit? Is anyone attending?? It sounds interesting! -Mary
We've got so much planned for Picture Book Summit on October 3rd that it hardly seems possible to fit it all into one day. But we did it--and here's proof!
http://picturebooksummit.com/picture-book-summit-schedule-of-events/ That's the full schedule of events for the big day. Take a look and see how exciting a day it will truly be.
In case you missed it on Friday, we've just announced our lineup of exclusive editor interviews.
On October 3, you'll get the inside scoop on the world of picture book publishing from these remarkable folks:
* Laura Godwin, VP/Publisher Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
* Jill Davis, Executive Editor, Katherine Tegen Books at HarperCollins
* Elizabeth Van Doren, Editorial Director, Boyds Mills Press
* Alvina Ling, Executive Editorial Director, Little Brown
* Liza Baker, VP/Executive Editorial Director, Cartwheel and Orchard
Books at Scholastic
These are some of the top editors in the field, and they join our
already stellar lineup that includes superstar authors (Peter Brown,
Andrea Davis Pinkney and Mac Barnett) and renowned children's writing
educators (Emma Walton Hamilton, Katie Davis, Laura Backes and Julie
Hedlund).
And we still have our agent interview lineup to disclose (including some
outstanding agents who *will* be accepting submissions from Picture Book
Summit attendees!).
All from the comfort of your couch.
You can't miss this historic event. But here's something important to
know:
*** Our early bird insider price of $197 ends August 15. After that,
the price goes up to $297 - no exceptions ***
Right now, go to
