A Conference For Children's Writers In New England

I rarely, rarely have insider information on anything. So when I do stumble onto something, I want to share it.

Just two days ago I learned from one of the administrators for the Whispering Pines Writers' Retreat that they have lined up their writer/speaker for next year's event. Said writer/speaker is...Laurie Halse Anderson.

The Whispering Pines Writers' Retreat will be held on February 23 through 25, 2007 at the Whispering Pines Conference Center on the W. Alton Jones Campus of the University of Rhode Island. An illustrator and two editors will also attend.
