here are a few of my favorite (and only!) shots from SCBWI-LA. i have to start, of course, with my AWESOME roomie, Emily Hainsworth - fellow Apocalypsie and author of THROUGH TO YOU.
next up, my agent sisters! meet a few members of the literaticult: Whitney Miller, Jo Whittemore and Kristen Kittscher!
sorry, cell phone shots.
now, here is my prize photo from the conference! me and the LA girls (Melanie Abed and Kristen) posing with Judy Blume!
again, cell shot. sorry.
Judy Blume was kind and patient with all of us drooling all over her. i thanked her for all of her books, but mostly for BLUBBER. and i don't even think my voice shook too badly!
the winners of the PJ party!
the Steel Cage Pitch Match in action! writers and illustrators had 30 seconds to impress ABLit agent Mary Kole. hosted by boysdontread.com - a brand new blog you should absolutely be following.
SCBWI was exhausting, educational and inspiring. i can't wait to go back someday.
oh, and psst! - i got my editorial letter for BUTTER while at the conference, so i am about to be a busy girl! (read: neurotic, over-caffeinated, obsessive mess)
it's possible the blog will go quiet after this.

Thanks for the glimpse of the conference! Enjoy those edits. ;)
Fab pictures - looks like you all had a great time!
I am so jealous that you got to meet Judy Blume! Awesome pics, looks like you had fun :) Good luck with your edits
Looks like so much freaking fun! JUDY BLOOM!? She's about as rockstar as you get when it comes to YA for me. I think she is single handedly responsible for bringing an entire generation into girls into adulthood. AS a dude, I can say her books didn't do me any harm, either. :-)
Good luck on the edits!
