SCBWI-MI Mentorship 2025: Understanding the Changes and How to Apply
Oct 16, 2024 - Jan 17, 2025
Online event
Description:
Join Mentorship Coordinator Jay Whistler for a FREE webinar about the upcoming illustration mentorship. Jay will explain how and why the mentorship has changed, discuss the new features and guidelines, talk about getting ready to apply, and share the mentorship schedule. There will be plenty of time for questions as well. If you can’t join us, the webinar will be available to watch on your schedule until the end of the registration period, currently scheduled for January 2-17, 2025.
This is a great first step if you are considering applying. In November, you can attend a webinar with our mentor, Penelope Dullagan, in which she walks you through creating endpapers for picture books. It will be a good way to see how Penny teaches and decide if she is a good fit for you and your illustration goals.
Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2024
Time: 7:00-8:15 p.m.
Registration fee: FREE!
