Welcome to SCBWI Indiana!

Our Indiana chapter comprises a dynamic group of members who are traditionally and independently published and pre published writers, illustrators, and translators. SCBWI Indiana is for anyone who lives in the state of Indiana and writes, illustrates, and/or translates stories for children, ranging from board books, picture books, chapter books, middle grade, graphic novels, to novels for young adults. We offer in-person and virtual events in our chapter throughout the year and we also have several active critique groups for both authors and illustrators within the chapter.
