My local SCBWI is full of fantastic writers and illustrators. Not only are they supportive, creative, and great fun to hang out with, they are also talented! I just want to shout out to a few of my friends who have had some recent and well-deserved good news.
Congrats to Terry Pierce author of Tae Kwon Do! and Barbara Jean Hicks author of Jitterbug Jam. Their book were included on the Bank Street College Best Children's Books of 2007 list.
Mary Hanson was awarded the Zaniest Title from Publishers weekly for How to Save Your Tail*: *if you are a rat nabbed by cats who really like stories about magic spoons, wolves with snout-warts, big, hairy chimney trolls... and cookies, too.
Well done!
Gosh, thanks Barbara! So sweet of you to mention this on your blog. You are absolutely right, though. The Ventura/Santa Barbara SCBWI region has TONS of talented writers and illustrators.
