Marcia Wernick, literary agent at the Sheldon Fogelman Agency, will be at the “Teachers as Writers” Workshop in Searcy, Arkansas on June 9-14, 2008. Other speakers include Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Carla McClafferty, Scholastic editor Eleni Baja, and Milkweed editor, Ben Barnhart. One day passes are available for the days that the agent and editors will be there.

If you’re in the mid-land, you should also check out the Arkansas Fall retreat, which features literary agent Michelle Andelman, who will review manuscripts and discuss where you work might fit into the publishing landscape.
