fAiRy gOdSiStErS iNk 6th Annual SCBWI Summer Conference Scholarship – Deadline: April 15th
[Note from Debbie: The fAiRy gOdSiStErS are right — this conference can definitely be a career-changer. It was for me. Lee Wardlaw(bottom left in the photo) was the one who first told me about the SCBWI, and I’ll always be grateful. Lee was also my very first writing mentor, and introduced me to her agent…Ginger is now my agent as well. 🙂 THANK YOU, LEE!!]

wHeRe: The Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles CA
wHy: We are five very fortunate authors for children and young adults who have been generously mentored, guided and supported by a host of talented individuals. We can’t think of a better way to thank them than by easing the way for others. The National Conference is a game-changer.
