SCBWI MidAtlantic Presentations

I presented a workshop and session at this year's Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) MidAtlantic annual conference.

Here are links to the slideshows for each session in case you'd like to follow along or revisit the information later:

WORKSHOP:

Making the Grade: Building School and Library Connections to Expand the Reach of Your Stories

Join Matthew Winner, elementary school librarian and host of the All The Wonders podcast, for a workshop exploring a multitude of ways to encounter schools and libraries, support literacy, and reach new audiences. Participants will leverage online resources in order to identify schools, libraries, and literacy programs that match with the participant's stories and goals. The workshop will focus both on pre-publish strategies as well as building and expanding connections after publication.

All experience levels welcome.

SESSION:

Social Me: What Who You Are Online Says About Who You Are Online

What does your current online say about who you are, what you write, and how you want to be connected with the reading community? Join Matthew Winner, elementary school librarian and host of the All The Wonders podcast, in a practical look of how to build and support your online presence and voice in the online learning community. This session will focus on the use of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, but will touch on all social media tools.

All experience levels welcome.
