A "Rising Kite" win at the SCBWI Florida Regional Conference in Miami

Each year at the Florida Region's SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) conference in Miami, writers who are unpublished in a category can enter ten pages of their work in the "Rising Kite" contest. This year I entered the first chapter of my historical fiction ghost story. The YA work is titled Beyond the Stone Eagle Gate and takes place in central Tennessee in 1893.

The photo shows me holding my second place certificate with Lorin Oberweger who judged the finalists in this contest. Lorin is now an agent with Adams Literary. She has built a career in publishing that spans twenty-five years. Lorin is a highly sought-after independent book editor and has offered intensive, deep craft workshops nationwide. In addition, using the pen name Noelle August, Lorin and author Veronica Rossi have co-authored and published a series of Young Adult novels,  Boomerang, Rebound, and Bounce.
