My introduction to writing and illustrating children's books was Uri Shulevitz's guide, Writing With Pictures--I still have it on my bookshelf--and the thought of attending an SCBWI conference terrified me. I came away from my first conference overstimulated and overwhelmed, but also energized and inspired. Through the years, I've learned that there is no better way to meet other author and illustrators, develop your writing and illustrating, and learn from the best in the industry.
So if you happen to be in Hawaii this March, join us for our 2016 SCBWI Hawaii Conference:

Suzie represents all brands of children's and adult fiction. She is
actively looking to build her list. In adult, she's specifically looking
for new adult, romance (all subgenres), fantasy (urban fantasy, science
fiction, steampunk, epic fantasy) and crime fiction (mysteries,
thrillers). In Childrens' she loves YA (all subgenres) and is dying to
find great Middle Grade projects. Suzie loves strong characters and
voice driven stories that break out of the typical tropes of their
genres. For more info on her clients and projects:
