SCBWINY10 - Friday Pre-Show: Writer & Illustrator Intensives, And What You Need To Know!

Okay, New York City!

It's cooooold. 13 degrees farenheit, -10 celcius as I write this!

And it's dark out still.

But it's exciting, 'cause TODAY everything's ramping up!

Don't miss the play-by-play highlights at the Official SCBWI Conference Blog!

Make sure to follow #SCBWINY10 (and add that hashtag to your own tweets) to keep up with the buzz on Twitter!

And remember there will be two special events on Saturday night after conference hours:

The SCBWI Saturday Night GAY Mixer!

Do you have questions about gay (GLBTQ) content in your work?
About gay content in children's publishing in general?
Want to meet other children’s and teen book professionals who are GLBTQ or straight allies?

Come network and chat with GLBTQ-friendly editors, agents, art directors, illustrators, and writers!
Grab a drink (cash bar, but ask about the drink specials), hang out, and enjoy a great discussion.
