This Saturday 28 th April,I went to my first SCBWI get together. Although I am not yet a member, I decided to go and check it out. It was very informative and fun. We heard from Melissa Keil, in a Q and A session. She is a renowned, award winning YA author, an editor with, first of all Black dog and currently Five mile press. We learned a lot about the workings of  publishing. I found her insights very informative. 

Kaye Ballie spoke with us about researching. I had already ordered a copy of her latest book, Message in a sock so I was more than a little excited to hear her speak on how she researched the facts about the war and the campaign to send socks to the soldiers. 

​Illustrator and newby author, Jess Rackleft,  spoke to us about her creative process. She was hilarious and very entertaining. 
I think I learned  just as much as a short course. I was also a little bit star struck at some of the famous names that attended.
