SCBWI CA: North/Central - Monthly Chapter Meeting with SPECIAL GUEST BITSY KEMPER (Nov 2026)

Grab a cup of something cozy and join us on Zoom for our monthly CA: North / Central chapter meetup! This month, we’re excited to welcome Bitsy Kemper, a local PAL member, for a special presentation on How NOT to Launch a Book. Excited to launch your first or next book? Bitsy will share some of the things she's learned about book launches, including what works, what doesn't, and what she's learned along the way. Our monthly meetups are informal and welcoming, with a chance to connect with fellow writers and illustrators, hear about upcoming events and opportunities, and chat about publishing news, craft, and the creative life. Join us live to participate in the conversation! The meeting will also be recorded and available for 30 days afterward. This event is made possible by a grant from SCBWI and the Authors Coalition of America.
