SCBWI Houston

We are the Houston Region of SCBWI which covers the greater Houston metro area and surrounding counties. As a professional organization, our chapter prides itself on being warm, welcoming, and fun! If you are passionate about writing, illustrating, or translating books for children and young adults, you've come to the right place!

Join your fellow creatives to work together in a motivating ONLINE setting with optional challenge prompts and music or you can mute us while you work in solitude knowing your people are working too! This is a great opportunity to build your accountability group, make friends and get projects accomplished!

Cate Berry showed us how to navigate the highs and lows of the creative industry including long waits, rejections, low sales and how to elegantly level up our career with her step-by-step "Unshakeable Artist" method. If you want more, check out her newsletter at Cateberryspeaks.com

Wonder what it takes to get into an independent press? Adam takes us on deep dive into the acquisitions process.

We have an unique selection of 4 or more writing/drawing prompts that are meant to make your creativity lift-off! Come in for 30 minutes of quiet writing/drawing time and 30 minutes of sharing. You will be surprised where these prompts take you! We meet the second Tuesday of every month at 6pm CST! Save the zoom link because it won't change!

Arrive at the meeting an hour early and bring your first five pages
