August Mid-Atlantic Illustrator Update

Happy August, Mid-Atlantic Illustrators!  School starts in a few short weeks and summer is coming to a close but we have a lot of great things in the works for this year’s Fall and Winter line-up.  We have a number of <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YAvDuzbgGHJSdx5BJFpSR4Rih8LnTmr2aFvbgjwyVISOsrj9FKWjqiapDLP1lmGZzs91_5QzJNzyDUF0DHei8N9nw8Cjnb_5z4ivr3wRhh9EvOX7_VX0llyKGuK1xTvQmY-zvw-8qMD5aNZdbQ1RH0X6RWfaBbWa3iJtpTyyiFZQOHvrh3tDXA==&amp;c=eA0oVaQfeVsLPjohgq64S_T1_51yy83AuT6-XUV588i22IRmBAUfpg==&amp;ch=GlE_V-HroZI7fUkdkmUGHiWxBjAMhom6Gtr0B46gI7B_W75Tk1SEZQ==">Mid Atlantic Regional events</a> of potential interest to illustrators and author/illustrators coming up. There’s a virtual workshop, <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YAvDuzbgGHJSdx5BJFpSR4Rih8LnTmr2aFvbgjwyVISOsrj9FKWjqgyPWXGLENKkDeVu-NgoEZ-UfUes626ksweGcEIYX3iLtMoruy2dKsp0sl0ZPEi2yxqFNlVrcknhYG8AZYf2QQxha8irTya8J4na6_aYEPP7as5NxNXnOTNUCPC73INJaIlDTzX_Tyt6vM_34_CRXAGTRXfiy8KQqYbGpXRP52y_&amp;c=eA0oVaQfeVsLPjohgq64S_T1_51yy83AuT6-XUV588i22IRmBAUfpg==&amp;ch=GlE_V-HroZI7fUkdkmUGHiWxBjAMhom6Gtr0B46gI7B_W75Tk1SEZQ==">Plot, Page-Turns, and Pith: All About Picture Book Pacing</a> coming in early September.  Our featured series<a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YAvDuzbgGHJSdx5BJFpSR4Rih8LnTmr2aFvbgjwyVISOsrj9FKWjqpadPrBXniKF0lll66TrcmqQlog_zYoDB_oB7PsELKNDrLbWzknT021d_f8FoRflPmBrLjJXU9jqzCEdU35yhA4zdS5oZbsMtRjLjB56U9uq7Zifdy5Sq8yLYCAnlOeONfl995EWdLhImpy5WOZjJ_A=&amp;c=eA0oVaQfeVsLPjohgq64S_T1_51yy83AuT6-XUV588i22IRmBAUfpg==&amp;ch=GlE_V-HroZI7fUkdkmUGHiWxBjAMhom6Gtr0B46gI7B_W75Tk1SEZQ=="> Beltways and Bridges: A Kidlit Road Trip</a> begins next month with two in-person intensives in Reston, VA and Charlottesville, VA. Be sure to register early to reserve your spot in these craft-focused intensives that include a lunch social with faculty. Of special interest to illustrators is the afternoon intensive at the Reston event, “Making a Book Dummy with Olga Herrera.” If you want to get to know a little more about Olga before the event, I highly recommend checking out the <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YAvDuzbgGHJSdx5BJFpSR4Rih8LnTmr2aFvbgjwyVISOsrj9FKWjqsFrRewKZJfgVKzCTQGobf-p7c35GDUA4pkTDnXsDdwj93bTCoGq7hswUvRg1BcJdgYZDJ2PXqcbs6rJ_ny1ISNc1O6kkeVGiQ==&amp;c=eA0oVaQfeVsLPjohgq64S_T1_51yy83AuT6-XUV588i22IRmBAUfpg==&amp;ch=GlE_V-HroZI7fUkdkmUGHiWxBjAMhom6Gtr0B46gI7B_W75Tk1SEZQ==">“Illo.Chat” podcast</a> she produces along with Sunny Duran.  Have you added Mid-Atlantic to your profile on the <a href="https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001YAvDuzbgGHJSdx5BJFpSR4Rih8LnTmr2aFvbgjwyVISOsrj9FKWjql5wcIqfVvUxOgcKCtmYmqSOuZMgR3xKprnUtqbJhd_OZE196h3NktsJWoBJ9j5yIAqmAkOpTAH6qWOqoNJEi6M=&amp;c=eA0oVaQfeVsLPjohgq64S_T1_51yy83AuT6-XUV588i22IRmBAUfpg==&amp;ch=GlE_V-HroZI7fUkdkmUGHiWxBjAMhom6Gtr0B46gI7B_W75Tk1SEZQ==">SCBWI website</a> as a preferred region?
