So stalkers, get ready for my Calendar O' Fun!
1. The Writer's Digest Conference Jan 21-23 in NY!. I'll be there with Donna and Janine from the FNC Live Blogging ALL weekend!
2. And then as soon as I'm back in town Jan 23, I'm meeting up with one Simon C. Larter and any other Philly area writers for our second ever Philly Lit Night, though this one is more of an evening affair. Anyone interested in meeting up should definitely let me or Simon know!
3. Kid Lit Night! Jan 28th in NY! This is the first year I'm not attending the SCBWI Winter Conference in NY *tear* because I'm saving up for a little thing known as SCBWI LA! BUT, though I won't be at the conference, I will be in the city Friday night at Kid Lit Night, which is hosted by Cheryl Klein. So if you're planning to be at the conference, we can still hang out! Yay! There should be more details closer to the date.
NEW!!!! Just before Kid Lit Night I'll be at a book signing for Lauren Oliver, Leila Sales and Anna Jarzab! EEEEEHHHHHH!!!!!!
And last....but certainly not least...

I wish I could go to the Writer's Digest conference! But this year I'm sticking to the west coast. Wow, that is some list, and it's so awesome that you are part of it! You deserve to be!
ReplyDeleteO-M-G! I may have to hate you now. Look at that line-up, Frankie! I would be too twitterpated to talk! LOL. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat writer's retreat sounds incredible - I'm sure it will end up giving you loads of "memories of a lifetime" moments.

ReplyDeleteMy only question is...why wasn't I invited to the writers retreat of awesome? Now my feelings are hurt.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to sniffle a bit into my coffee on the 23rd, now.... ;)
Frankie, that's just goshdarn amazing!! All of it. But especially the Writers Retreat to an unknown location, with all those fabulous authors. I'd be staring and drooling the entire time. You are so lucky!
