Welcome to the website of Elizabeth Keeler Robinson: author, editor and poet.
The SCBWI Golden Gate Conference at Asilomar was, once again, amazing! The lineup of talent was stellar: Newbery Honor winner Gary Schmidt, Pura Belpre winner Yuyi Morales, authors Liza Ketchum, Ellen Klages and Deborah Underwood, editors Tracey Gates, Ariana Lewis, AnnMarie Anderson and Kathleen Kerr, art director Kristine Brogno, agents Sarah Davies and Kenneth Wright, and social media maven Greg Pincus. Wow! The conference was packed with lectures, workshops, art, critiques of all sorts, and opportunities to interact with an amazingly talented and warm group of children's book writers and illustrators. As always, I came away inspired, rejuvenated, and recommitted to my writing. Watch out!
Conferences like this are a reason for every aspiring children's writer or illustrator to join the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. SCBWI is an amazing organization with many, many resources for children's authors and illustrators at every level of experience. Go to www.scbwi.org for more information.
