Our theme is "Beyond the Page," where we'll focus on collaborating and connecting with other writers, elevating our craft, and educating creators about the next steps into publication and beyond. Writing and illustrating are so much more than just the words and images on the page.
That is why we have developed a full day of keynotes and breakout sessions with professional faculty, as well as our wonderful PALs. Take advantage of the professional critique and submission opportunities, enter your artwork into the illustrator’s showcase, purchase members' books, and bring your own books to sell through our bookseller.
But most of all, meet fellow creators and build community during this day-long celebration of children’s literature.
