Applying, putting myself out there and taking leaps of faith!

There is so much that has happened it truly is hard to keep up with. It's exciting, it's overwhelming, I'm working hard to scale. 

Here are a few updates of what I have brewing for the rest of the year. 

I applied to the Rutgers University One-on-One Conference for Children's Literature. I have no idea if I will be accepted or not, but it looks like an incredible value and I'm taking a chance. That is in October in New Jersey. Keep your fingers crossed for me! 

I am taking part of a few conferences this summer: 
The Vermont College of Fine Arts Summer Residency Writing for Children and Young Adults  and Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Conference in August. Both of these have pitch opportunities to big editors, so I'm excited for the opportunity to pitch my new manuscripts to a panel of editors who will hopefully want to produce the book with me! 

In addition to the conferences, I am flying to Nashville, TN to pitch Island Girls to a big distributor. As some of you many know, one of my biggest struggles has been keeping up with the demand for Island Girls. I have wanted a distributor on my team and this is a very rare and exciting opportunity. Think of this like Shark Tank- I'll have 5 minutes to sell these guys on me and Island Girls which would be such a huge breakthrough for me. Please send me good vibes, this will happen over the weekend of August 18. I am excited and nervous, I could not pass up this opportunity! 

In addition to the conferences and reading camps, I am taking part of a few conferences and working on revisions for two manuscripts for editors at pretty big publishing houses. One for a new picture book I wrote and one for my middle grade novel. 

There are so many exciting things happening and I'm so thankful for your support and encouragement to keep writing and making a difference for our oceans! 

So much more to come! 

All my best,
​Blair
