You DO work hard and treat your writing as a profession, so to be Published and Listed is huge. <br /><br />Andrea, yes, it's like Megg says, at the SCBWI conferences and events, you can sell your books and as much as it shouldn't matter, you are regarded as a bit more "pro" and your books are looked at as more quality in the kidlit world.DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-54847734304803109432012-08-07T06:25:25.827-07:002012-08-07T06:25:25.827-07:00Andrea -

There are also PAL-only events with teachers and librarians. It's another foot in the door.<br /><br />Samantha & Elizabeth - Thanks! It's really interesting to watch the publishing world change & grow. I'm proud I can have a teeny little hand in it.Megg Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186437652660111801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-90359982562912106072012-08-06T08:28:46.908-07:002012-08-06T08:28:46.908-07:00Congratulations.

Congratulations for standing up for what you believe in, for your hard work that has made you the success you are, and for helping to pave the road for other self-publishers who want to get PAL rating from SCBWI.<br /><br />Self-publishing is becoming a choice now, with some writers turning down the traditional route in favor of doing it themselves. They shouldn't be penalized for that. And you're helping to make that happen.Samantha Clarkhttp://samanthaclark.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
