What is a SCBWI SLAM? Or am I missing something?
I'm going to start saving now for next year and hope that nothing come up, or goes wrong to stop me. I can't wait to see the pictures Candy.
Gareth, I managed to go to the retreat last year and like you it was great to put faces to names. I would have loved to have attended this year but couldn't. I missed it thought, especially the food.

It was great. As a newbie to SCWBI (rhymes - hee hee), I wanted a way to meet some people as well as escape real life to get some writing done and learn some stuff - ticked all those boxes! What a lovely lot of friendly and talentd folk.
The talks and critique session were all fun and useful (bit of a divided camp on to prologue or not to prologue for my book) and a great "read around" on Sunday night - fab to hear all the different writing styles and stories.
Rare opportunity to have such prolonged contact with two editors (ooh 'er) - Non and Jasmine were really friendly and full of good information and Mary Hoffmann was very down to earth with her advice.
I'll be booking up for next year!
