SCBWI Houston: Monthly Chapter Meeting
May 05, 2025
1 event
Online event
Unlimited seats
This month is a little different. It's like Christmas in May, but even better! We'll all get a chance to catch up with each other, eat, play, and, if you need new professional headshots, we've arranged for a photographer to deliver four stunning photos for an outrageously low price. Since there are only 12 spots (er, WERE only 12 - some have already been grabbed up from our Discord!), and since no money can exchange hands during our meetings, if you want to sign up, do it quickly and pay in advance. The sign up link (and the photographer's website) will be in your meeting notes. If you have any troubles, email Jennie Smith @[email protected]

How does Marty Chan inspire kids to write with his in-person and virtual school visits? Join us this July 9th to learn how to increase engagement during kids in presentations, like school visits. Learn how to utilize games, how to illustrate concepts in a way that capture the attention of even the reluctant student. Let Marty show you how to structure your visit in a way that brings your presentation to life and gets you invited back again and again. Learn how to give them something to remember!
