Lin Oliver, SCBWI's Executive Director, welcomes the packed ballroom, telling us a little about the next two days, and ourselves:
We are 842 strong (they turned away hundreds of people who had wanted to attend.)
We're from 45 states, 17 countries. 350-some of us are published. 400-some of us write and/or illustrate full-time. "That's the dream," as Lin says.
And with jokes and heart, she introduces the conference kick-off Keynote, Kate Messner!
