[tx-yac] Arlington Area SCBWI conference

[Jeanette Larson]

If people you know are interested in writing for children, this would be a great conference. Even if you are not interested in writing, it sounds like a real interesting program just to learn more aobut children's literature. I'm posting this at the request of the planners. --Jeanette Larson
