What time? I'd love to but...I'm an hour out of the city, AND I'm getting in late the previous night from VT.

How many of you will be at SCBWI? I'm going to that too so if you can't make the Thursday training, just come and find me at SCBWI and maybe we can find time to have a look at Composer. It's better than missing out altogether : )

App friends, we have a new venue for this event, in Chelsea. Sorry for the switch, but the upside is: better restaurants in that area and Demibooks is having an easier, smoother time. See you there!

Lorraine Hopping EganCo-OrganizerThank you, Rafiq and Stacey, for showing us what interactive app fun we authors, designers, illustrators, animators can produce, ourselves, on an iPad. Talk ensued about a follow-up meet-up for creators to show, share, and explore their Composer story app experiments. What say you, App Study Hall members?

Sandy D+1 guestGreat intro to the Demibooks story app builder! Rafiq and Stacey were enthusiastic and incredibly responsive. I'm excited to try out the program - and would definitely be interested in a follow-up session to dive in deeper.
