Subject: [ha-Safran]: Early Bird Deadline: Jewish Children's Book Writers' Conference
This is just a reminder that Monday (November 1) is the last day to take advantage of the Early Bird registration fee for this year's Jewish Children's Book Writers' Conference.
In addition to the editors and literary agent who will be speaking at this year's conference, more editors are joining us for the afternoon Query Clinic/First Pages and Q&A sessions, including Yaakov Peterseil (publisher and managing editor of Pitspopany Press). They will all be reading First Pages and Query Letters after the conference, and will be available throughout the afternoon. Take advantage of this opportunity to meet your future editor!
Please forward this announcement to anyone you think might be interested, including your patrons and other librarians.
Thank you.
