Silver Bay YMCA, Adirondack Mountains, NY




Hello, from Lake George in the Adirondacks. There are white caps on the blue lake, nestled amidst fading fall colors. This weekend, 35 children’s picture book writers gathered on the shore to schmooze, learn, talk, gossip, and passionately discuss the art and craft of writing a 32-page children’s picture book.

Nancy Castaldo, SCBWI Eastern NY Regional Advisor

Thanks Nancy Castaldo, Regional Advisor of the Eastern NY SCBWI for a great retreat, an excellent editor’s weekend.

In attendance were 35 writers, who were fabulous. See pics on Facebook soon.

5 Picture Book Editors

Speaking were five editors: Sylvie Frank of Holiday House, Kelly Smith of Sterling, Dianne Hess of Scholastic, Marilyn Brigham of Marshall Cavendish, and Kate Fletcher of Candlewick.
(NOTE: Please see the publishers’ websites for submission info.)

Sylvie Frank, Holiday House

Sylvie Frank, Holiday House

Sylvie Frank is the Miss Elizabeth Swan (from “Pirates”) of children’s literature; she’s a dashing woman who chooses to challenge herself by running a marathon. Sylvie’s mother is the children’s book author Martha Freeman, so Sylvie grew up with all things literary and the ups and downs of the publishing world. Look out–she’s going to make a name for herself! Sylvie brings a smart, sincere, yet fresh view to the field. She’s authentically excited about story possibilities and realistic about what it takes to bring a story to market. She’s interested in anything from picture book to YA.

Kelly Smith, Sterling Books
