If you are looking for a way to keep your young book lovers engaged and learning, the Orange County Children’s Book Festival will be going virtual this year. And it’s free!
The first 500 to register for the 2-week festival will get a virtual swag bag, which includes sneak peeks, free book downloads, coupons, and more.
The festival runs from September 14-26th and includes presenters such as Kristen Bell (The World Needs More Purple People), Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series), Patrice Karst (The Invisible String), and many more!
Just because we can’t be together in person, doesn’t mean we can’t hang out.

If you’ve missed out on the first two webinars in our May “Invest in Your Writing Skills” webinars, you are in luck because there are more to come! Join us for a virtual opportunity to learn “How to Edit” your work with tips and tricks of the trade shared by Zoe Quinton.
The topics for Wednesday’s (5/20 @7pm) webinar include how to self-edit your manuscript before either hiring an independent editor, querying your manuscript, or self-publishing. That will include such things to look out for as head hopping and other issues with point of view, relying too heavily on adverbs and dialogue tags, over- and underuse of exposition, and how to watch for signs of these and other problems when editing your own work.
Zoe Quinton is a literary strategist, helping authors and companies tell their stories more effectively through editing, consulting, and copywriting. She lives in Santa Cruz, CA, where she is raising two small humans and enjoys trail running, drinking too much coffee, and growing all the plants. Visit Zoe on Facebook and Instagram for more info!
