I’ve poured so much heart into this story, and I can’t wait to share the cover with you soon. 💛

Conferences build connections. Not every conference has a success story, but our last regional conference had three! Read about one here, and don't miss the chance to connect with agent Rebecca Rodd & editors Eileen Robinson & Zoie Konneker. scbwi.org/events/full-...

I would have! I devoured her books and got tears in my eyes when she gave a speech at an SCBWI virtual conference a few years back.
