Shutta's
5th Annual Summer Schmooze for Children's Writers
west of Ann Arbor, MI
From 2-5 PM
Join Shutta at her home for an afternoon full of camaraderie,
tailor made for those who love writing and/or illustrating children's
books.
-
- Shutta writes, "Please bring a dish, finger food, munchie,
snack to pass. Also . . . bring something small from your childhood--or
a photo of it--for a short writing starter.
"If you've got a new book out, a galley, thumbnails, new
art work to pass around and share-PLEASE BRING! This is also
a good time to share/give away old writing magazines, newsletters,
etc."
-
- And as always, Shutta will collect any NEW or in EXCELLENT
shape children's books to donate to the Martin County Library
in Kentucky. Email Shutta through her website at www.shutta.com for directions, or if you
have a question.
