Upcoming Events (with me!)

I’m super excited about these events I’ll be appearing at soon!

First, I’ll be on faculty at SCBWI Oregon’s Spring Conference, May 17–18.

I’ll be teaching a workshop on how to write setting descriptions that both transport your reader to the world of your story and can also function as a lens for character. I’ll also be in a session with my agent, Brooks Sherman of the Bent Agency, on the Agent/Author relationship. (I think there’s still time to register!)

At the end of the month, I’ll be in New York attending Book Expo America, though not in any official capacity. However, advance copies of Hook’s Revenge will be there for the taking. (And Publisher’s Weekly called it a “Galley to Grab!”) I won’t be doing a signing, but I will have a pen. Find me (twitter could help: @HeidiSchulz) and I’ll sign your copy and/or give you swag.

If you are in town for BEA, swing by the Kids Author Carnival Saturday evening, May 31. I’ll be appearing with some amazing middle grade authors. We’ll be playing games and generally being goofy with the kids that will attend. You won’t want to miss it.

And next month, I’ll be back home in Salem, Oregon, talking about my publishing journey and how twitter played a role (and how it might be helpful for other aspiring authors).
