April is the coolest month

Think April is a mere speck on the horizon?

You're right. [Sort of!]

It's also the time for SCBWI Western Washington's 24th Annual Writing & Illustrating for Children Conference in Redmond, WA. Your job, given that registration won't be happening for a couple of months, is to:
SAVE THESE DATES: April 17 – 19, 2015

Because this is the holiday season, how about the gift of a sneak peak of some of our conference faculty? (Aw, shucks, we love you, too!)

• Sharon Flake (author) 
• David Wiesner (picture book author/illustrator)


• Carter Hasegawa (editor at Candlewick)
• Christa Heschke (agent at MacIntosh & Otis)
• Kristen Nobles (art director at Candlewick)

• Rachel Orr (agent at the Prospect Agency)
• Jen Rofe (agent at Andrea Brown Literary)

Whoever said April was the cruelest month was certainly NOT an SCBWI member! Stay tuned for updated information as we get closer to conference registration.
