The number of spots available for each dinner is based on two members for every editor/agent attending the dinner. So if there are 7 editors/agents, there would be 14 available spots.
Okay, so how do you register? Email kellyacalabrese@gmail.com and let her know you want a spot. Then you need to immediately send in your money for the dinner to:
NJSCBWI – Summer Networking Dinners
PO BOX 660
Ringoes, NJ 08551
or PayPal it using kathy@newjerseyscbwi.com
The New Jersey SCBWI is not responsible for editor/agents getting sick, changing dates, and or dropping out. We will do everything we can to keep the ratio the same in the event that this happens. Please note: No refunds for dinners, since they have to be paid in advanced and guaranteed.
Talk tomorrow,
Kathy
