Join us for the last SCBWI Tokyo Creative Exchange of 2012! We’ll begin with a 30 minute Tools of the Trade session. After that you can join one of the critique groups. Sign up in advance to bring your work in progress to share with the group for constructive feedback. Open to published and pre-published writers, illustrators and translators of children’s and young adult books; SCBWI members will have priority for critique slots.
After the exchange, join us at Restaurant Un Café for a bonenkai (year-end party) dinner to reflect on our accomplishments in 2012 and share our creative goals and hopes for 2013.
