TOPIC: No naked ladies allowed. How do you make sure your portfolio is #kidlitart appropriate?
Thanks to some much needed advice from writer/illustrator Brooks Jones, who hosts #storyappchat Sundays at 9 pm Eastern, we're going to give transcripts another go. The process I had hopes for in August was still requiring about an hour of formatting to get the captured transcript in shape to upload. Brooks has given me some tips that cut the time down to about 15 minutes. Thanks for the help, Brooks!
So, with fingers crossed but no guarantees, here is last Thursday's chat, in which we start out talking about one thing and quickly morph into something else! :-)

After a long hiatus of dealing with wonky (at best) or absent (at worst) transcript generator services, we've found one that seems to work with minimal tweaking. No guarantee that this current service will be available next week (!), but in the meantime, enjoy this roundup of tips gathered at the 2011 LA SCBWI Conference.

Please let the chatters know that it was a difficult decision - I was really impressed by the nice breadth of topics and the refreshing absence of old-hat, familiar storylines. Kudos to the participants for taking the bull by the horns, and kudos to kidlitart, in general, for creating this terrific and needed community.

Please help us congratulate the winners.

#PBdummy Wrap Party!
It's a wrap!
We've come to the end of our six-month picture book dummy challenge. Wendy and I have learned a lot, putting together the introductory posts and researching links. We've also had a great time discussing the highs and lows and, most of all, gaining inspiration from the fantastic community of kidlitart followers.
Whether or not you finished with a submission-worthy dummy, we hope you've had fun and been inspired, too, and that the experience of talking through the process has been a valuable one.
We've saved the best for last: the 15 pitches posted during Pitch Fest have been reviewed (favorably!) by Secret Agent; winners of the detailed dummy critiques will be announced during the #kidlitart chat on Thursday, June 30 (9 pm Eastern)!
Join us to congratulate your colleagues and share what you've learned on the #PBdummy train. And thanks to all for taking the journey with us!
