Mingles and Sketch & Scrawl Get-Togethers

What are Mingles and Sketch & Scrawls?

Mingles are held in various cities throughout Canada East. These events provide opportunities to socialize and network (in person) with other SCBWI illustrators, writers, and translators from your local area. Sketch & Scrawls are roving sketch-and-scribble parties for members. Think “pub crawl," but swap out the pub for a variety of indoor and outdoor locations. Local coordinators will sometimes hold a sketch & scrawl in place of their regular meeting. In the case of the Greater Toronto Area, there is a separate sketch & scrawls group. Don't miss out! If you'd like to meet members in your area, scroll down and sign up to ensure you receive notifications about events in your area.
