SCBWI - Publishing Tips For Aspiring Writers From Professionals

Blind Writer · Feb 4, 2010

Hey, guys!

So, this past weekend at SCBWI, Kirsten Hubbard (wandergirl), Kaitlin Ward (kaitlin008) and I got to have dinner with some industry professionals. The result was this helpful video.

http://yahighway.blogspot.com/2010/02/nyc-publishing-tips-movie.html

It features agent: Suzie Townsend (FinePrint), Kathleen Ortiz (LA Agency), Michelle Andelman (Lynne Franklin), Joanna Stampfel-Volpe (Nancy Coffey Literary and Media Representation), and Laura Whitaker, who works in Marketing at Harper.

All give GREAT advice. And it's pretty funny, too.

Hope you enjoy!

ETA: FAIL!!!!! THe link is right now.

If by funny you mean I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THE LAST 30 SECONDS AND I MADE THE THING, then yep! LOL -- Joanna rocks!

Best video ever. I also can't stop watching the end

And their advice was great, too (all five of them!)
