October 25th, 2019 Dulles, VA Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Mid-Atlantic Conference Presenter for breakout session: Thanks for the Feedback (not really!): Managing Feedback to Write Your Best Story Before any piece of writing is “ready,” it needs revision. Feedback is fundamental. But it’s also frustrating. How do you know which feedback is right for your story? The answer may surprise you. This breakout session, for new and seasoned writers alike, will examine three touchstones—Know, Question, and Trust— that will help you learn to use feedback to deepen your story, and not derail it. This workshop will give you practical, real-life skills, and infuse you with a new-found clarity about your writing and yourself.
