I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be presenting the fifth workshop in the Society of Children’s Books Writers & Illustrators’s second Digital Workshops series. The series is for current SCBWI members, and is free — an offering for members during this unusual summer of lockdown and creative challenge. My workshop will be “Submissions Studio: Writing Queries, Strategizing Submissions, and 10 Ways to Translate ‘No’ to ‘Yes!’” It’s for writers of all children’s book categories — beginners as well as advanced writers — looking to perfect their submission package and strategy. The workshop will include a master handout, sample query letters, and a quick-reference sheet for translating editorial feedback. Workshop date: Thursday, July 2 , 2020, 1:00pm-2:00pm, Pacific Daylight Time. Registration opens Monday, June 29 , 2020, 10am PDT.
Deborah, I was unable to attend this workshop and am unable to access the replay. I am SCBWI member and have asked there about this but as of yet, have not gotten a reply. . Is it possible to obtain the handouts, sample queries, and reference sheet from you? I’m sure you’re busy, but I figured you don’t ask, you don’t get, right? .I’m about to re-enter the query trenches with my YA Fantasy novel so I’m looking for all the help I can get. Thanks in advance for your time and attention. I hope you and your family are safe and well.
Regards,
Susan

Hello Deborah. I was unfortunately unable to watch your workshop. The replay has been removed as of yesterday and I was unaware of its existence. I am an SCBWI member and I am very interested in the contents of your conference. Would you be kind enough to re-post the webinar on SCBWI or email the handouts and samples you provided. Any assistance you can provide would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you very much for reading my message.
