9/11 is an ominous date, but this year I’ll be doing my part to cast a little sunshine on those numbers: I’ll be presenting “How Do You Know Your Manuscript Is Ready for Submission?” at the season-opening meeting of the San Diego chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators’ (SCBWI). Check it out on September 11, 2010, from 2-4pm, in the Hahn Nursing Hall on the University of San Diego campus. For details about the meeting and the chapter, visit their website.
