We’re back, baby! Join us and other kidlit aficionados to exchange knowledge about life as an author/illustrator/and/or translator for children’s literature.

We are moving back online this year and that means tons of value for you! Get ready to up your game as you marinate in the wisdom of those in the kidlit industry!

Enjoy a full day of learning including two panels (Shedding Light on Hidden Histories and an Agent/Client panel), two two-hour workshops (one on Goal Setting with Francine Puckly and one on Hook, Plot, and Pitch with Kaz Windness), and two creator sessions with our 2025 Mentors (Illustrators: The Secret of a Winning Portfolio with Illustrator Mentor Rahele Jomepour Bell; Writers: Traditional vs. Self-Publishing with Chelsea Tornetto). All will be recorded and available for 60 days to registered attendees.
