In September 2010 the 3rd Biennial International Australia and New Zealand SCBWI conference was held at the Hughenden Hotel in Woollahra, Sydney. Kira Lynn, Publishing Director at Kane Miller Books (USA) was our invited keynote speaker. In addition we were thrilled to have Lin Oliver, the Executive Director of the SCBWI attend and present at our conference.
