Elizabeth Carpentiere, editor of FACES magazine will be at the NESCBWI conference this weekend! She has been the editor of FACES, a world cultures magazine for middle school readers, for 15 years. FACES is one of several award-winning magazines published by Cobblestone Publishing. During her tenure, the publication has received numerous honors and awards including being named a Parents’ Choice Honor Winner and the Most Improved Publication by the Educational Press Association. Elizabeth has also worked on special projects for Cobblestone Publishing including a supplement for the Boston Globe’s Newspapers in Education program. She has also edited several eBooks with more titles to come. Elizabeth began her career in weekly and daily newspapers. In 1997 she was named Writer of the Year by the New Hampshire Press Association.
On Sunday, Elizabeth is giving a workshop on query letters, and on Saturday, she will be available all day for “on-the-spot critiques,” a brand new offering at this year’s conference.
Sign up at the registration desk during the conference weekend for the fifteen-minute meeting. You can bring up to five pages of a work in progress (picture book, novel, or magazine article—non-fiction or historical fiction) and/or a query letter, or simply ask questions about the children’s magazine writing industry. Elizabeth is also happy to read/critique retold folktales. The cost is $40.
Come early to secure a slot with Elizabeth! We are thrilled to have her join us this year!
