Most Enthusiastic Author Signing Attendee: Carolyn Dee Flores

Check out Carolyn's twist on getting her books signed...

We'll call it "sign my iPad"

But that's not at the expense of physical books.  After all, Carolyn's so enthusiastic and has so many hard cover and paperback books for our faculty authors and illustrators to sign, she carries them around in a novel way...

Yes.  That's a suitcase.  FULL of books!

Go Carolyn!

Book Signing at Once Upon a Time Bookstore

Yesterday a few SCBWI members got together for a book signing at Once Upon a Time bookstore in Montrose for a YA Rising Stars event. Other SCBWI attendees made the trip out, and it was all a blur of books, laughs and cake pops! It's great to take the opportunity to visit local independent booksellers when you travel for other events.

Note that Nova Ren Suma is on the conference faculty and Suzanne Young is a member of TEAM BLOG.
