I'm in a total quandary. Or maybe a frenzy. Or maybe a frendary...? Here's why:
April 13 will be the 6-months-to-pub-date for Audition. April 16-17 are the dates of SCBWI Western Washington annual's (and awesome) conference. I've got a cover and jpegs of the front and back of the arc from the book designer.
I should make bookmarks. But...
Should I wait to hear back about a blurb from an amazing author? Should I order SOME bookmarks now and wait to print the rest (at higher cost) until I hear back. Should I be okay with no bookmarks for SCBWI-WWa (I think not)? How close can I cut this?
Clearly, this is not an informative post so much as a digressive panic. You ever have those?

Go ahead and make some now, but a low number--then you can add more later. You'll go through bookmarks quickly, I'm sure!
Oh to be in your shoes--congrats, you!
Beth's advice is exactly what I would have said. You do want to have something to take with you and hand out in the interim, right?
I was hoping to make it to the WWa conference, but unfortunately it conflict with a preplanned family vacation. Have fun, and enjoy the moment--you've earned it!

I don't think you should miss any opportunity to publicize your work, so printing some would be a good idea.
Thanks, Beth, Angela & J.L., for the advice. Sorry you won't be at WWa, Angela, but have a great vacation!
I agree with what everyone else said: print some now, then more later. So exciting, Stasia!!
