DFWWW Goes International with Foreign Book Rights & a Conference Attendee from Across the Pond

The esca­la­ting sum­mer tem­pe­ra­tu­res haven’t den­ted the atten­dance at the DFW Wri­ters’ Workshop, as demons­tra­ted by the healthy crowd at the June 16^th meeting.

In offi­cial news, Rus­sell Con­nor remin­ded mem­bers of the pro­po­sed amend­ments to the By-laws, with the vote to be held during the July busi­ness mee­ting. The pro­po­sals are pos­ted on the bulle­tin board for all to review.  

In other news, lite­rary agent Sara Megi­bow reques­ted a par­tial of Carolyn William’s manusc­ript, Love on the Run. Rose­mary Clement-Moore sold the Por­tu­guese rights to her Mag­gie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil series of Young Adult novels. Addi­tio­nally, Rose­mary will speak this Satur­day, June 19, during a mee­ting of the North Texas chap­ter of the Society of Children’s Book Wri­ters & Illus­tra­tors in Arlington.

Finally, Stephen Man­ning announ­ced that the 2011 DFW Wri­ters’ Con­fe­rence has gone inter­na­tio­nal with the regis­tra­tion of an atten­dee from the country of England. Ever­yone is exci­ted by how the conference’s repu­ta­tion has grown in only three years of existence.
