Virtual Revision Retreat with Deborah Halverson
Sep 20, 2024 - Sep 21, 2024
Online event
During our in-person revision retreat with Deborah Halverson, we are making the presentations by Deborah Halverson available to those who are not able to make it to our in-person event through live streaming of her presentations and recordings available for 30 days following the event.
Please join the Oklahoma/Arkansas Region of SCBWI as we learn more about the art of revision from Deborah Halverson.
This is a virtual presentation with four sections. Deborah will be speaking about various aspects of the art of revision in each of the four sessions.
Your registration of $40 for members of SCBWI, and $60 for nonmembers of SCBWI, will give you live access to these presentations, as well as the recording on Zoom to watch and rewatch for 30 days after the presentation.
** NOTE These presentations will be in conjunction with the Oklahoma/Arkansas SCBWI Revision Retreat, held in person on September 20-21. Please understand that we will adhere to the schedule as much as is possible, but since it is a live event, there may be a delay of a minute or two as we wrap up sessions that occur in between these. Thanks so much for your understanding. Remember, when you watch the recordings, that won’t be an issue, as we will only record her presentations.
The sessions will be at the following times: (All times are Central Daylight Time)
Friday, September 20, 2024 at 6:15-7:00 pm (Keynote and Kickoff)
