Writer's Conference is next weekend

I can't wait for the WLT Writer's Conference in Austin, Tx, next weekend. I signed up for the YA A to Z track and look forward to learning alot of good information from those in the know. I'm hoping to learn what interests young readers and keeps them turning the pages. Also, I hope to meet new friends and fellow writers that I can correspond with and begin a critique group. As much as I love writing, I love doing my natural gifts, which are proofreading and editing other fascinating stories. I hope to gain much insight in the writing craft that will kick my writing up to the next level. Sure, I may have a manuscript that's complete, but I know I need pointers to get to "great".
