SCBWI Conference Adventures

 I know everyone who attended SCBWI 50 had a glorious time. Pen and Ink first attended SBWI's Summer Conference in 2010

 During a meeting at Taco Tuesday at El Torito's Kris Kahrs decided it wasn't enough to simply attend, we had to have a gimmick. Kris suggested we create a picture book.

So we did.  We designated Lupe as our cameraman. Sue as our costumer. And Kris and Hilde began to shanghai victims… hem, potential participants to take part in the fun.  I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical that people would want to do it, but we were surprised at how little convincing people needed.  They were quite willing indeed.

And you wouldn't believe the caliber of pirates we had join our ship!  You will have to click on the link to see the cast of bandits… I mean… award-winning authors extraordinaire.  

Side-note from Sue. I was sitting next to Judy Blume at one of the breakout sessions and she agreed to be part of our adventure. I frantically texted the rest of the gang, but they were busy in the main room. So  - no Judy Blume. But so many others agreed to play along. The letter A pirate was Arthur Levine and then there was . . .. No. Click and see for yourselves.

Take a look. Happy summer all.
