Posting might be a little lighter this week as I'm headed to the Summit of Awesome on Wednesday, Thursday & Friday! It's a 3 day event for indie artists and crafters filled with business classes, mentoring sessions, hands-on craft workshops and lots of great opportunities to network with like-minded folks.
I'll be discussing how to pitch your shop to blogs and magazines with Kim Werker on Thursday. And on Friday, I'll be talking about the story of Modish- how it all got started and what it's like behind the scenes as a full time blogger. (I'm a little freaked about that- eek!) There's tons more great workshops and classes taking place over the 3 days that I'm excited to attend myself, and still time to register!
Plus, it all takes place at the ever awesome Kennedy School- how fun is that gonna be? Hope to see you there!
wishing we lived in Portland right now! Sounds super fun and, well... awesome! Such a fantastic little graphic, too :)

So jealous of all the Portlanders! Did you get to attend last years? And will you be reporting on any of the stuff there for all us East Coasters?

Oh how I wish I could be there! Will you please do some in-depth posts about those same topics? (especially pitching to blogs!!) Us East Coasters would be so appreciative!)

Hey Kat!
Just so you know, a few of the sessions (including ours) will be broadcast live in the virtual labs on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/virtual_labs.php and also, I wrote a big post on pitching to blogs awhile back that you can check out here! :) http://www.modishblog.com/biztips/2008/09/how-to-approach-blogs-and-get-them-to-write-about-you.html
