HI,
  I am new to all of this and just joined recently. I feel I spin my wheels a bit trying to get around this wonderful site. I know it probably is so simple but is there a simple "how to  " find what you sent to post but is still in review"   as well as How to get around on  the site- so that I can navigate a bit smarter.
Thanks so much for all your help. Julie

< She > invites you to participate for FREE! All < she > asks is that you fill out a short feedback survey after the webinar.

I don't know if there is an enrollment limit.

Here's a blog post that popped up in my inbox about a new NF PB you might find helpful:

Can you ask that of writers also? I'm still using the good old ink and paper.

Dear fellow illustrators,
I am new to SCBWI and a newbie on Blueboard  and have a question custom illustration pricing.  I've been contacted by a magazine based out of Japan (the NY office contacted me). They are interested in having me do a monthly illustration for a column in their magazine (12 illustrations total).  From what I can tell so far, the illustrations look like they'd need to fit in a 1/2 banner (smallish horizontally oriented rectangle at the top of the page.)  They are asking for figure illustrations, though I've explained that given the small size of the proposed illustration, a head/torso illustration would work better than a full figure illustration.  I asked if they have a budget in mind, but haven't heard back.  This would be the first time I'm doing a multi-illustration magazine project, so I'd welcome any advice on how to proceed with pricing.  Thanks for your help!  Joana
