An Authorish Gathering!

  • Jun. 21st, 2008 at 4:55 PM

While waiting for all the Cheesy Poetry Contest entries to come in, I want to share this amazing afternoon with you.  Seventeen Wisconsin SCBWI children's authors and illustrators gathered for readings and signings at the Martha Merrell Bookstore in Waukesha, WI. 



The event was the brainchild of our talented publicity lady, Denice Ryan Martin, who puts in many hours of work (and love) to promote our Wisconsin region of SCBWI.

She was given full support by our Regional Advisor, Pam Beres.

Along with our enthusiastic Co-Regional Advisor, Peggy Tromblay (who's an expert face painter and added to the kids' involvement.)

The talented authors/illustrators who did readings today were:

Kathryn Heling


Deborah Hembrook


Annie Jacobsen


JoAnn Early Macken


Julie Bowe


Kathleen Ernst


Kashmira Sheth


Ann Angel


S. A. (Stephanie) Bodeen

And me, Dori Chaconas,
(who took the pictures
but forgot to give the camera
to someone else to take HER
picture, so she's using a stock photo.)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "Wisconsin is blessed with so many talented writers, and I'm humbled and fortunate to be among them!"
