Hi Tara I am real sorry I didn’t get a chance to hear your speech in person however you are a true insipiration to all of us aspiring children’s writers! You told me part of your story at this past SCBWI June conference, and I have to say I was really moved by it. I am so happy that so many others got to heart it as well. Keep writing, keep blogging, and keep reaching for your dreams you awesome super woman
