Here's the short version:
Shape your picture book work-in-progress in small, editor-led groups with Lisa Graff, Associate Editor, Farrar, Straus & Giroux; Kathy Landwher, Vice President and Associate Publisher, Peachtree Publishers; Marcia Leonard, Editor, Clarion Books; and Ruta Rimas, Assistant Editor, Balzer & Bray/HarperCollins. Dummy-making roundtable. Hands-on poetry workshop, “Voices & Choices,” with poet Joan Bransfield Graham.
Last year I went to this retreat and was blessed to have Kristin Daly (formerly with HarperCollins and now with Balzer & Bray) as my group leader. She was fantastic. I was also able to spend time with and read first pages to the other editors at the retreat--Alexandra Cooper (Simon and Schuster) and Stacy Cantor (Walker). I learned so much from all three of them.
So, who's coming with me?!?

I just replied on the blueboard asking if you're from SB. I was born there and spent most of my life in Ventura County. Enjoy your retreat!
Rena, I never lived in SB. I live in Palos Verdes, CA...S of LAX and N of Long Beach.
Hope to meet you at a conference or retreat one day.
Wow! looks like an awesome retreat with some great people to lead it!!!!
I went to my 1st Novel retreat this past April and it was so helpful! I hope they'll do it again this year. I live on the other side of the U.S. (NC) or else I'd have my sights set on this one!!!! :0)
Have fun and good luck!

The retreat sounds amazing! Enjoy!
Sounds fun, Jill. Enjoy!
Oh, how I wish I lived in a place with, well, PEOPLE. No. That's not true. I just wish I could teleport to writing retreats! Have fun for both of us . . .
I wish I could go!
I would love to! Bit far for me to go, unfortunately, but have fun!
