Serious about improving your craft? SCBWI's regional events provide opportunities for professional growth and help you connect with a supportive, creative community.
Let's get together and work on our WIPs! Come join us (in-person or online) as we socialize a little, and write/illustrate together. It doesn't matter if you create with words, paint, or both. This is an in-person setting for us to keep ourselves accountable for our creative time, and to energize each other. Bring whatever materials you need to create. If you arrive a little late, don't be shy about entering. Come on in, and find a spot to create.
Join us as our own Varsha Bajaj, author of Thirst, Count Me In, The Home Builders and many more, discusses, "Finding the Heart of the Picture Book." Every picture book had a breathing heart. Finding the core is a process. She’ll share the journey for some of her published and upcoming picture books.
What: An informal critique group that meets before all chapter meetings. All written and illustrated works-in-progress intended for the children’s market are welcome. Share works with each other to get peer to peer feedback. Authors and illustrators of all levels. For SCBWI Members Only. August's critique group is meeting in-person only on Monday, Aug 05, 6:00PM to 7:00PM before the monthly meeting.
An In-person and online event for all creators. What kills creativity? Routine, rules and comparing ourselves to those who have already reaches the goals we have set for ourselves. So this month we are taking a break from teaching the rules of writing and simply allowing ourselves to be silly. Your regional team will be offering up games to exercise to stretch your creative muscles. For those who join online, make sure to have some blank sheets of paper and small random items close by.
Registration wraps up on November 23rd (or sooner if we fill up). Right now, we're offering unbeatable early bird prices, but don't wait too long—if rooms are still available, prices will increase after the early bird period ends! Still wondering why you SIMPLY MUST attend? Scroll down to uncover all the incredible experiences waiting for you at this year's retreat!🌳💡✍🏽
