Everyone a Winner at WIK'18: One-on-Ones Still Available!

We're this close to the 30 day deadline for wik'18!

But this close means you still have time to sign up for a one-on-one session. And with four agents, there's someone for any kidlit writer:

John Cusick represents picture books, middle grade, and young adult writers. And he's an author himself. Is he a good fit for you?

Erica Silverman is with Stimola Literary, a small boutique agency. They're very selective, but they might just select you.

Kristy Hunter loves voice-driven stories, so if you have one of those in a middle grade or young adult novel, she'd love to talk to you.

And Claire Easton's sweet spot is picture books, but she also represents chapter books and middle grade. If you're one of those writers who switches back and forth between age groups, she may have the advice you need.

In fact, with twenty minutes in a one-on-one, you're sure to get plenty of advice! But you'll need to register for wik'18 first, and then sign up for your one-on-one even quicker. Because we're this close to filling up!

Cathy C. Hall has been so busy getting everyone to introduce themselves (herself? himself?) that she completely forgot her own introduction! She lives in the metro Atlanta area (which is a fancy way of saying the suburbs) and she writes for all ages. Her leveled readers are published in Korea and (possibly? unlikely?) legendary!

A SEASON OF GIVING WITH WIK’18 - FREE QUICKFIRE PORTFOLIO REVIEWS

On the eighth--or is it the ninth day of wik'18 registration?

To tell you the truth, I've sort of lost count. But I know exactly what's up next in our count of terrific gifts at wik'18:

FREE QUICKFIRE PORTFOLIO REVIEWS!

Yes, we're having Illustrators' Day in Birmingham, and yes, it's new to this conference. But it's still the same great experience you've always loved!

Just like always, there will be a full day of speakers focused on illustrated books for young readers. Coretta Scott King Award winner, Pat Cummings, will show you how to fire up the emotional impact of your work. Deborah Shine, editor at Star Bright Books, will reveal how independent publishers find illustrators and work with them to create beautiful diverse books. Nicki Carmack will share the work done in the illustration mentorship as well as reveal how to create a more dynamic finished product. Claire Easton, agent at Painted Words, will join the rest of the faculty for the twenty-five FREE QUICKFIRE PORTFOLIO REVIEWS, plus a Question and Answer session.

So in case you've lost count, too, let's count down our wik'18 Season of Giving:

FREE Quickfire Portfolio Reviews!

Six Inspiring Intensives!

Four Awesome Agents!

Two Terrific Editors!

And an Early Bird Discount for registration!

It's all there, waiting for you! But spaces in some activities fill up fast, so don't wait to register. And don't forget about the special surprise gift you can win by commenting on this post.

Though everyone's a winner at wik'18!
