On our first day in Miami, our RA gave to us:
Five acquiring editors,
Four writers speaking,
Three agents signing,
Two moderated panels,
And a clockwork costume ball!
All kidding aside, some great things happened at the conference. On Saturday, the Rising Kite Awards were announced. One of my picture book biographies won third place in the non-fiction category. Standing beside me in pink is my critique group mate, Joni Klein-Higger. Joni took second prize in the picture book category, and a third critique group mate, Eileen Goldenberg, received an honorable mention.
I was excited to meet my agent, (Deborah Warren at East West Literary), face-to-face for the first time. While we've worked well via phone and email, it's nice to make a more personal connection.
The halls were buzzing in Miami with good news and potential good news. It was exciting to be a part of it!
