Kidlit Blogging Conference, Chicago, IL
More registrations in the mail, discovered upon returning home from my annual college women's weekend in central Oregon! I have logged them in and have added names onto the list.
It made me think back to this time last summer when I finally decided, yup! we are headed to Chicago! I believe that weekend was an "aha" moment for me because of the fun I had and the knowledge gained. (Besides the fact that I bravely raised my hand and said YES to organizing this year's event. Thank you, Laini for signing on with me.)
Friday night was a blast as we piled into the hotel van and they took us to a great pizza joint.

And what great topics! From the "how to's" of kidlit blogging, podcasting, a forum about the Cybils to meeting authors in a fun hour before the dinner hour. I loved the session presented by Mother Reader on how to get your blog noticed. Anne Levy addressed issues about reviewing which was very helpful.
Mark Blevis talking about podcasting. I wrote a grant and got podcasting equipment after this inspiring session.
Anne and Kelly, co-founders of the CYBILS Award
Esme Raji Codell hosted the author and illustrator hour.
So are you in? What topics do you want to see at this year's conference. Let me know!
You can email me the registration form and send the check via email if that helps you. I am looking forward to this year's event. I hope to see you.
