I had a wonderful time at the Appalachian Writers Conference this past week! I never seem to remember to take pictures but I did snap one of the gorgeous historic hotel where the conference was held. I highly recommend this conference to any writer looking to hone their craft.
I finally got to meet my client @danaevyn in person! In a world where Zoom meetings prevail it was nice to have a drink and chat in person. Don't get me wrong I love texhnology and without it couldn't do my job, but it's nice to get out of the office and make a personal connection every once in awhile.
Thrilled to announce my client @maryvanderplasbooks adorable board book! It will be the perfect baby shower and birthday gift for the smallest readers 🚚
