I'm an expat in El Salvador. There's no SCBWI chapter in El Salvador or Central America, but we if we get enough people interested in forming one, we can start to lay the foundation of being recognized officially. I've already contacted SCBWI and gotten some information. I've reached out to some I know where I currently live and there is an interest. We need to have an informal kid lit group for at least a year before we can expect official representation.

If you are interested, PM me or let me know in this thread. Or if you know of people in Central America who would be, also let me know.

Thanks.

Update: We have a Facebook group started now: https://www.facebook.com/groups/713438535378295/ This is for writers in Central America and Colombia.

And Chile?! I also contacted SCBWI about this. I wonder if Chile is too far away to be included?

Franzilla, go ahead and join us. We want a group that will work for anyone near the region. I'm hoping we can do some things online to include those away as well.
