“In 2008 I attended my first SCWW Conference.  I left with a much clearer understanding of the publishing process and what I would have to do to get a book in print.  Shortly thereafter I joined a SCWW critique group.  Members provided tremendous insight and guidance as I worked to develop my characters and theme.  Agents at the next two SCWW conferences challenged me to deepen my plot.  I wrote and rewrote.  In 2010 I sold my first novel, The Quaker Café’, to Penguin/Viking.  I thank SCWW and its members for helping make my dream a reality.
