CHAUTAUQUA!

Pam — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 06:39:06 +0000

I just received this email from Jo Lloyd at Highlights Foundation: Hello Highlights Foundation Friends, Wishing you a happy holiday season. Since you have mentioned one or more of our programs in recent blogs, I wondered if you might pass along information about our 2011 Chautauqua Scholarship Program via a blog or some other social-networking means? You may know someone who is hesitating to pursue his or her Chautauqua dream due to finances. The Highlights Foundation offers scholarships and now is the time to find out more. A lot of children’s writers dream of the Highlights ...

Some Technical Problems

Ooops!

We have changed servers, and when we did, not all of our information got pulled over to the new server. I'm working with Bryan to get everything back up and running. I'll be reposting our conference photos in the new few days. I apologize if you've gone to our Fall class schedule and found it missing. It will be back up very soon, as will the PayPal option. Thank you for your patience! PS: Yes, I know that the picture in this post isn't really what happened, but as ...

What to Take to a Writers' Conference

Pam — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:50:27 +0000

I've found these items to be useful to take to a writers' conference: 1.) laptop -- I can type faster than I can write, so using my laptop makes it easier to take notes.

The outlet may not be convenient or may be "occupied." 2.) pens -- The conference might supply you with a pen, but why ...

What I Love About Writers Conferences!

Pam — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:31:44 +0000

I have been going to writers conferences since the mid 70s. Wow! That's a really long time! Why, after 40 years, do I still go? Haven't I learned it all by now? Even though I have 40 published books (by Holiday House, Scholastic, Steck-Vaughn, Rigby, etc.), I think I can still learn from others. Not everyone writes the way I do, and I'm open to learning new ways. My grandmother always said that when you stop learning, you stop growing. And ...
