A few weeks ago, I entered my unpublished novel, The Breakout, in this year’s San Francisco Writers Conference Writing Contest. I’m super excited to say that it is a finalist in the Children’s/YA category! Winners will be announced at the conference, February 15th.
For a brief summary of the novel, click here.
I wish all the finalists congratulations and good luck! Check out the complete list of finalists here: SFWC Finalists. And thanks so much to the San Francisco Writers Conference and the contest director, Laurie McLean, for this contest. Being chosen is such a thrill and encouragement. Good luck to everyone!

So do you get to go to San Fran? And do you need your sister in law to go with you?!?
Congrats!!!!
I wish – not this year, but maybe another year. And that would be fun if we both went!
Wishing you the best of luck!
Thanks!
