Ms. Cooney was a delightful keynote speaker! Some more favorite quotes from her speech:
-“Most kids yearn to be a hero.”
-“Research often gives you all the clues you need to write your action.”
-"Who gets published? The writer who writes constantly, and takes criticism well.”
And one personal favorite, which was met with much laughter: “My first 8 books were never published. I’m not going to be a sympathetic shoulder if you tell me your first novel hasn’t sold.” :-)
