Eastern PA SCBWI

What is a Meet & Greet?

A Meet & Greet is FREE-of-charge, social gathering of kid-lit writers and illustrators who come together to chat, network, share news and resources, socialize, and learn from one another.

In short, it’s an informal, no-pressure way to expand your kid lit kin. Meet & Greets can be held in a restaurant, coffee shop, bookstore, library, book festival, park, garden, or virtual platform. A topic can be discussed, or it can just be a friendly exchange of ideas, a time to meet new kid lit writer/illustrator friends or catch up with old friends. It's always good for SCBWI members to meet other writers in their area in order to build a strong writing community.

Upcoming Meet & Greets can be found under the Eastern PA Events tab on our website.
