Illinois Lit Live

Introducing: Illinois Lit Live!

Celebrate our local Illinois kidlit authors at our new ongoing series, Illinois Lit Live!

Once every few months, we’ll get together on Zoom for live readings of 5-6 SCBWI members’ newly published works (e.g. picture book; part of a chapter book, middle grade, or young adult book; poetry, etc.)

This is a great opportunity to hear new books directly from the authors themselves, and for the authors to share and publicize their work to a wider audience.

Illinois Lit Live events are recorded and shared in the Good News, available for all SCBWI Illinois members to watch for free for up to 30 days.

Interested in signing up to read your work? Fill out the sign up form here.
