My queen of editors now reigns at Egmont USA
SCBWI Arizona is hosting Editor’s Day on May 17th in Scottsdale. Details here. I've already sent in my registration and booked my hotel room.

On hand, and giving hands on advice will be:

Regina Griffin, Egmont USA Executive Editor
Kat Kopit, Roaring Brook Press Associate Editor
Alexandra Penfold, Simon & Schuster Paula Wiseman Books Associate Editor
Laurent Linn, Simon & Schuster Art Director
Jaime Weiss Chilton, Andrea Brown Literary Agency Associate Agent

While she was at Holiday House, Regina Griffin edited my three middle grade novels: Close Encounters of a Third-World Kind, The Bean King's Daughter, and If That Breathes Fire, We're Toast.

I am looking forward to seeing her again!

Have fun!

I don't live near my SBCWI chapter. They think I live in DC and there is no one else in this country. I wish I lived in a place so I could easily attend events and conferences.

Enjoy yourself and let us know how it goes.

I'm glad you're on livejournal, which I hope makes you feel less isolated. I'm sure there are others writing children's books in Iceland, but they might all be writing in Icelandic, I suppose. Have you asked SCBWI if anyone else in their membership hails from Iceland?

I know it's not the same thing as meeting in person, but you can always email, too, if you wish. (My email's plastered all over my website, www.jenniferjstewart.com).

Hugs,
Jennifer J.

I knew that name sounded familiar! How fun for you!
Do you think you can make pizza on fri night? Of course Ms Griffin is welcome if you would like to invite her, everyone is. I just need a head count.

I still don't know if I will have to do something that Friday, like help with the editors. I am hoping that my particular editor can fly in early or stay later, but we'll see.

Hey, think you'd be up for posting the details on [info]azkidwriters, too, now that you have them all nicely condensed? :-)
