I'd be generally pleased if I never had to leave my house again :) But your trip looks amazing!

But SCBWI has many more industry professionals and also brings in more authors with long-term experience from all over the country. The LA Conference a few years ago brought in Karen Cushman, Richard Peck, Sherman Alexie, and Ingrid Law, among others. Not so many award winners at WIFYR, but still worthwhile. We've got our great local authors, right? Local SCBWI conferences are the best deal: cheap, one-day events that still bring in New York agents and editors with whom you often get one-on-one time to talk about your work. Not bad for $95 plus a Frontrunner ticket to get you there.elenajubehttp://elenajube.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088317003537422229.post-81467361445913813282014-02-24T20:32:40.033-07:002014-02-24T20:32:40.033-07:00It sounds like a lovely trip.
