Tallahassee Writers Conference pics part 2

Leave a comment


Finally getting around to sharing pics from the Tallahassee Writers Conference. It was a great event and I had a lot of fun going with Editor K and showing her the Florida State University campus. (Go, Noles!)

I think I’m giving the audience the tip of when writing for tweens, “Don’t use outdated slang aka ‘get up in my grill foshizzle'”. 🙂


More of my PowerPoint about writing for tweens.

And finally, I’m holding onto that clicker. I kind of loved it and want one. Thanks Editor K for snapping the shots! I’m still booking conferences for 2010 and 2011, so if interested, shoot me an e-mail at jess_burkhart [at] hotmail [dot] com.

Finally have a second to post about my awesome trip with Kate to the Tallahassee Writers Conference! Here are a few pics of the trip–Kate’s got more of my actual events on the camera, which is, um, still packed.

First up–the room. Loooved it!

The second pic is signed stock at the Tallahassee Barnes & Noble. I love them and they were so gracious and sweet!

The next pic is Kate checking out the killer kitchen. We were in shock that there was an actual kitchen in our hotel room. #majorwinhello

I fell in love with the pool/whirlpool area. The pool was FREEZING so I opted for the whirlpool. So. Nice.

Last pic is another room shot.

Thank you so much to Donna Meredith and the fab gang at the Tallahassee Writers Conference. We had a fab time!

Bye, NYC!

Conference day is finally here! Kate and I are grabbing an early flight and leaving chilly NYC for warm, sunny Florida. I’m speaking at the Tallahassee Writers’ Conference (check my Website for details on a free event open to the public) and Kate’s attending the conference with me. She’ll be front row at my talks, no doubt, probably making faces to get my attention or make me laugh. (If she heckles me–security is free to remove her from the room.) 😉

Our hotel looks amazing and I can’t wait to hit the whirlpool since it’ll be a little chilly to swim. Look for pics and possible vlogs to come when we get back.

I’ve been getting lots of e-mails about the Tallahassee Writers Conference where I’ll be teaching a workshop AND talking to the public. The public event is free and it’s on Saturday, March 20 at 10:15 am in room 214 at the Florida State University conference center.

I’ll be talking about my writing life and all things Canterwood. So, if you’re in the area, definitely stop by! 🙂 Thanks so much to Donna for selecting me to speak. I’m thrilled to be going back to my school and talking to young people about writing.

For details, check here.

The hotel looks FAB and I just ordered the cutest bikini from Victoria’s Secret for the whirlpool. It’s def going to be a work/play trip.
