That's right. I said we. And when I say "we" I mean me, Casey McCormick, Lisa and Laura Roecker, Shannon Messenger and Jamie Harrington. If you're not avidly following all of these people, you so should be. So go follow them. I'll wait. (And they all have giveaways too...)
Back? Okay. Are you ready for the Awesome to the Epic?
It's a...well, I could bore you to death with a written explanation, but luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you look at it) we put together a vlog.
Just watch:
But that's not all. I can't just let June go by without a giveaway. (There will be one in July too!) This month's giveaway is also an opportunity for YOU to pay it forward. Instead of giving you extra entries for tweeting, facebooking, blogging, etc., I'd like you to do that of your own free will and desire to pay it forward. Do whatever you want to spread the word about WriteOnCon. I'd be forever grateful.
You'll need to do a couple of things to enter this giveaway:
1. Watch the vlog.
2. Tell me the last spoken word in the vlog. ENTER IT IN THE FORM BELOW -- if you put it in a comment, you'll be like, killed 'til you're dead. Enter it in the form.
That's it. Decide how you want to pay it forward to spread the word. See that new countdown widget? Click on "Get Widget" and you can put it on your blog or website. Click on it to go to our awesomesauce WriteOnCon website, designed by equally amazing Jen Stayrook. And feel free to post our
I hope to "see" you at the conference!!!
Oh, and I'm going to be off the blogosphere this week until Friday. We're running a contest on The League blog this week, so go check that out.

Awesome video; great idea.
Don't do kid lit. But I'll promote it on my blog for you anyway.
..........dhole
Holy Cow batman that is very cool. I am in :)
I'll check out Write On's site!
I was tired thinking of starting the work week. Now I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement. It is so awesome what you guys are doing. I'll post it on Facebook & the Michigan SCBWI e-mail list for now. Maybe you've inspired me to get my blog up before then.
Oh and yeah, I did catch you with a piece of beloved, unhealthy bacon. Ha! Have a great week.
Wow, that was way cool!
Nice work.
Elana, I agree with you, awesomesauce idea! I watched the video in order of the post, without reading the part underneath so I didn't pay attention to the last word. And now I have to go to work!!!!!! I'll have to come back later.
What an awesomely amazing idea! I'm so exciting!!!
wowee- well knock me over with a feather! This IS bigger than big, HUGER than huge! It's made of awesome sauce!
I won't be able to participate (no time!) but this looks like tons of fun. Great stuff!

Just when I think you can't top your last idea. So cool!
This is awesome, I'm definitely in. Thanks for organizing it!
I can't WAIT. It's going to be rocking awesome!
Great vlog, geat idea!!! You guys are amazing.
That's what you made us wait for all this time...?
WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
You guys did so well on the video, nice job. And E, you are going to be blogging more frequently now, right?
Just when I think I couldn't love you more, I hear your voice and the angels sing. Can't WAIT for this! Such a brilliant idea!
You guys are so awesome.
That is so great! I could hardly hear the vlog though because I'm in a cafe, but...Elana, your voice is a lot higher than I hear it in my head when I read your posts!
How cool-I'm there! :)
You so read my mind. I talk to my husband about this subject yesterday; how sad I am that I can't get to these conferences. YAY!! You all RAWK!
Thank you.
Woo hoo - this sounds so great!! Thanks :)
Great idea! I love conferences!
You gals are filled with AWESOME!!! I'll be there. :D
Oh, you are right... Best vlog ever!!!
So excited! And yes, epic vlog. :)
Fab vlog. I don't do kidlit, but I'll definitely help promote. What a great idea and awesome use of the internet!
Brilliant! I'm SO there! (Since I've been crying about not being able to go to SCBWI LA in August.)
That. Is. Awesome.
Awesome contest, but oh man! A free online writers conference?? The best idea ever! Is it really just for MC under 18? Bummer.

Good luck with that undertaking!
Soooooo awesome! I will be back to sign up. You guys rock!
Ha! I just saw this over at Zoe's blog--dude, you totally do sooooo much...I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!
Sounds like a lot of fun!!!! *rushes off to prepare blog post linking back to this awesomeness*
Super idea! But I can't seem to get beyond Casey calling you on the phone! The video keeps locking up on me :( I'll try again later. But will you be posting the details anywhere if I can't get the video up?
Dudes, that was awesome (and now I need some Twizzlers. Sigh.), even if the last bit of music sounded a little "bow-chicka-bow-BOW!" lol. Can't WAIT for the conference!!
This is such a great idea! I will be there! (I mean, you know... from my home office)
Adding the widget to my blog.
Sounds like a great idea. I'll mark my calendar.
How are you so epically awesome?! (I need new adjectives!) This is so, so cool!!!
You guys totally rock! I am so there! Thank you for pulling this together. I'm going to start calling you guys the Spectacular Six!!!
You guys rock! Thanks for putting this together:)
Dude, you guys. We are all children's writers, and most of the classes will be for YA, MG and picture books. But that doesn't mean you won't learn something about characterization. Or that the publishing panels we have planned won't be beneficial. So I say if you're a writer at all -- children's or adult -- you'd probably benefit. Like, yeah. You'd benefit. And it's free, so what have you got to lose?
Sign up (starting July 1) and see what topics you can benefit from. Right? Right.
And Lydia, if you knew how many emails were exchanged about the pitch of my voice, you would die! *hangs head in high-pitched voice shame*
This is the most awesome idea evah!!! I'm off to spread the word right now! You all rock!
Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome!
"See" you there.
Such an amazing conference! I already downloaded the widget from Casey's site and it's on my blog :)
Such a great idea--and your vlog is adorable! I'm posting the widget and video on my blog.
This is such an amazing, amazing thing. Thank you all! :)
What a great idea! Very cool. Nice vlog too ;)
You guys are so awesome. Looking forward to the online conference.:)
Wow, wow, wowza!!!! You all rock. Really. Truly. You do! Only one question, can I arm wrestle, too? :]
You ladies are AWESOMESAUCE!
Cool beans!!!
Sounds great! I put it on my blog!
You guys are awesome!
This is a great thing!!! :D
This is fabulous news! I can't wait for the conference - I'm off to check out all the good stuff now :)
I'm going to have to relisten to the vlog because I didn't pay attention to the last word. Would love to win a book. Maybe I can figure out the widget to paste onto my blog.
Just checked out the website and signed up for the blog feed. Looks fabulous!
;-)
Should be fun! Even though I don't write YA (I may later), Shannon assured me I could still come play with y'all.
I'm looking forward to hanging with my homies.
Have a yummy week!
Love,
Lola
What an excellent idea! And great job for putting it together. You guys rock. If I even have a *tenth* of your creative energy, I'd be over the moon. Steven Malk, Mark McVeigh etc, etc? Dude!!!!!!
