SPRINGMINGLE
'08 Springmingle 2008 (SM08) in Atlanta promises to be a weekend of inspiration
and insight! Our Among Deborah's many awards are the E.B. White Read-Aloud Award, Bank Street Fiction Award, Coretta Scott King/Steptoe Award, Ezra Jack Keats Award and the Simon Wiesenthal Award. EACH LITTLE BIRD THAT SINGS is a Golden Kite Honor Book and a 2005 National Book Award finalist. Our SM08 faculty also features speakers flying in from New York. They include ROBIN TORDINI, Associate Editor with Henry Holt. Ms. Tordini handles projects from picture books to young adult novels. She and our other speakers have been well received at previous SCBWI conferences! JENNIFER WINGERTZAHN, Editor with Clarion Books, talks brilliantly about how to "write funny." Jennifer acquires picture books, novels and poetry for all ages. She "hopes to find new talent" at SM08! Our illustrators won't want to miss MARTHA RAGO, Associate Creative Director with HarperCollins. This company and its many imprints publish about 600 titles per year including a multitude of genres. HarperCollins is a CLOSED house, but Ms. Rago will accept illustration submissions from SM08 attendees. Plus, Diane Capriola, owner of the much-loved bookstore "Little
Shop of Stories" (Decatur, GA) will share tips from a bookseller's
perspective. Register early to join us for the inside story! Robyn
Hood Black, Springmingle Coordinator Robyn sold her first book, Sir Mike, as a direct result of the last Springmingle ('04) in Atlanta! Visit her website at www.robynhoodblack.com.
