#NY12SCBWI Pre-Conference Interview with Darcy Pattison

Team Blog's Martha Brockenbrough interviews Darcy Pattison about her keynote presentation in the upcoming Marketing For Professional Writers Intensive.





Darcy's a well-published author and teacher (the shrunken manuscript revision technique is hers), video book trailer enthusiast, and the mind behind the Random Acts of Publicity week.  It's a great interview, and poses a good question:  If we can't call them "book trailers" - which evidently has been trademarked - what should we call them?  Read the interview at Martha's blog here.

Thanks Martha and Darcy!

You can register to see Darcy's keynote, "Creating Book Trailers and Other Random Acts of Promotion," and to attend the whole Lucky 13th Annual Winter Conference here.

Hope to see you there.

All about the Writers Intensives at the Upcoming 2012 SCBWI Winter Conference!

I expanded last week's conversation with Lin Oliver, SCBWI's Executive Director, to find out more about the two different writers intensives the Friday before the full 2012 SCBWI Winter Conference.

The Roundtable Intensive for Writers is a chance to share your work with (and get immediate feedback from) editors and agents. (And it sells out every year.)

And new for this conference, there's a Marketing For Professional Writers Intensive. In our video, Lin explains more:
