JKRowling’s verve posted here reminding me of last night’s #keynote #speaker at #SCWC2020, ‘The Ninja Daughter’ #author Tori Eldridge. Her debut novel- 2 book deal-Is catching lots of attention along with great reviews. I can tell you this, the novel’s author is fierce, funny & dazzled us with her stories. She’s written #screenplays so...I wouldn’t be surprised... 🎥📚👍🏽. @writer.tori @scwcwriters #southerncalifornia #writersconference #SCWC2020 @scwcwriters (at Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8p4I4llOIP/?igshid=fu4cga2iapem

#writers , there are many reasons to attend writers conferences. What I say often is what I’ve learned through attending them for almost 30 years-It’s where you meet your #tribe. Mostly we work alone and at times that’s lonely. Hanging at #writersconference helps us feel connected. Several years ago and at the Southern California Writers Conference, a PhD #ornithologist attended my workshop. At that point Stacey O’Brien had an idea about this book she wanted to write about Wesley her pet owl that she’d spent years studying. By her own admission, she was not a writer…yet... The idea for this #memoir like book was so compelling that I took her ‘under wing’ & introduced her to the people at #SCWC who could help her formulate this idea into a book. ‘Wesley the Owl’ was the result. Published by @simonandschuster, it immediately became a #bestseller and since then has been translated into 28 languages. Stacey just posted this ‘love letter’ to me on marlamiller.com and while I don’t usually brag, I just can’t help myself-such lovely words that this #editor sure appreciates. And about writers conferences? #scwc2020 soon commences in San Diego where I met #staceyobrien -join us! There is still room! @scwcwriters (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B731kPiFc7L/?igshid=1uoqsvbbt5scz
