It was such a good way to start a Monday.

Over the moon that @debbieohi.com has been named SCBWI's Member of the Year. So well deserved, Debbie. Those hearts were flying for you! #scbwisummer25 ❤️

😮‍💨

It's been a lot of fun!

It was a really great session. I loved that, too, and Hillary Moore's art is lovely. I was just on her website. www.hillarymoore.com

Such a fun table. Glad you all joined us the lounge. ☕🤗

I hope you loved day 1! And maybe even found your 1 thing. :)

What fun. Thank to all of you who attended and sent up those emojis. I felt your energy. It’s going to be a great few days! #scbwisummer25

So much goodness to soak up!

You're so welcome. It truly was my pleasure. Have the best time! Is there something you're most looking forward to?

Counting down to joining you all for Orientation! #scbwiSummer25

I'm so thrilled to share that I am now represented by @kaylacichello.bsky.social and join the Upstart Crow fam.

Here's to the next chapter. I'm so glad it begins with you. 🥰📚🙌

Love this! I can't believe I'll be starting with another group next week. Keep up, writer pals!

And you get 2 hours with him. How delightful!

What an inspirational talk by the magical (as Sarah so accurately described her) Vanessa Brantley Newton! She gave us a directive, friends: "Get to working on your dream!” #scbwiny25 @scbwi.bsky.social

Counting the minutes to the start of the @scbwi.bsky.social conference!!! Who will I see in the coffee lounge today? What are you most looking forward to today? #scbwiny25
