Hi, my name is Amme! This is my first time posting on this platform and first time at a SCBWI conference. I am very excited to meet people who follow the same passion! I hope everyone has a wonderful time at this 2024 Summer Event! #SCBWInotes #SCBWISummer2024 #SCBWI1thing #scbwiBIRD

Thanks to all who joined me at orientation! A reminder of the hashtags: #scbwisummer24 (all things conference) #scbwibird (first-time attendees) #scbwinotes (illustrated conference notes) #scbwi1thing (that one things you were meant to hear)

"Your portfolio isn't just how pretty your art is, your portfolio is who you are" - Aliza Hoover

Paraphrased, but this resonated.

The big question for author / illustrators… Pantser, Plotter, Plantser?

But say it in an emoji / gif 😂

@scbwi

Heart beat of a story and as an illustrator you can pace the story and find those impactful key scenes. Thank you #scbwi for this amazing conference!

Hard to pin down an #scbwi1thing, since this is my first conference and therefore it’s all important. But I’ll go with Words Saved the Pig; Words Matter from Kate DeCamillo’s talk (via EB White), as this relates back to my joy about the Memoir presentation. Words will save me, too. #scbwisummer24

Amazing conference! So worth it! My 1 thing was learning how to do an oral pitch !#scbwi1thing#scbwibird#scbwisummer24
