All signs point to an incredible conference in June. We have people from all over the country attending. The conference will be three jam-packed, fun-filled days of more than 300 one-on-one critiques; craft-based intensives; workshops; book fair; art exhibit; agent pitches; first page sessions; contests; raffles; a feature Children’s documentary film; networking opportunities, and more. Hope you registered.
