SCBWI Writer's Conference

I met Ellen Hopkins (New York Times Bestseller) at the 2008 SCBWI Writer's Retreat in Temecula, California.


One of the things I admire about her is how she views her responsibility to readers. Not just to write them a good book to read, but also to provide understanding to the questions they have about life. Readers have written Ellen saying that her books saved their lives...literally.
