Trying
to find that nice illustrator you met at the last annual conference?
Having trouble locating your manuscript exchange friend?
Tired of hunting through the printed Membership Roster to find other SCBWI
members?
Well, the new Online Roster can help you with all three!
This system is designed to serve the same purposes as the printed Roster
(or "red book") and is available to active members only. The
search works only if a member is logged in on the homepage
(i.e., no one can stumble across this page without being logged in as
a member). The Membership Roster is never made public.
Here's how the Online Roster works...
1. Type in the information below and click the
"Search" button. You
can find all members in your city, all members in your state, province
or country, all members with the last name "Smith," all members
in your zip code. Or even all members in your state with the last name
"Smith" -- any combination (or no combination) is okay.
2. After you click the "Search" button,
a new page will load up with a list of SCBWI members who match your
search criteria. Only those who have agreed to be listed in
the printed Roster will appear in the list (i.e., those who said they
do not want to be printed in the Roster, will not
appear here either).
3. Click on the name of the person you wish to contact
and a window will pop-up where you can type in a message. Please
make sure your anti-pop-up software is disabled!
4. Click the "Send" button and your
message will be emailed to the other person. The subject of
the email will be "Message from SCBWI member: [Your Name Here]."
The recipient is reminded that a response is welcome, but not
required. See Guidelines for Appropriate
Use below. |

If you would rather not
use this online system, as a member, you may still
order the printed Roster for the cost of postage only. Send a check for
$3.85 with your request to: SCBWI Publications, 8271 Beverly Blvd., Los
Angeles, CA 90048.
Guidelines for Appropriate Use
- This online roster message
system allows one-at-a-time communication from one
member to another member via email or postal address. When you send
an email message, your name will appear in the subject line of the
email.
- The search results
may NOT be used for commercial purposes. Messages such as
public relations/marketing announcements, queries to publishers or
agents, and "super deals" on products are all considered
SPAM. This lookup is intended as a way to reach individual members
NOT groups of members. (See the "Member Announcements" forum
of the Discussion Boards
for a more effective way to reach groups.)
- The recipient is not
required to respond to your message. Please be understanding if you
do not receive a response right away or ever.
- If you do not
wish to be reachable via this online roster system, you may update
your information and check the box which indicates you do NOT
want your name to appear in the membership roster.
- If your name did not
come up in a search and you do wish to be reachable
via this system, you may update
your information and uncheck the box which indicates
you do NOT want your name to appear in the membership roster.
- Feedback
on this online roster system for members is welcome at scbwi@scbwi.org
or webmaster@scbwi.org.
