SCBWI Indiana

Our region includes a dynamic group of members who are traditionally and independently published along with pre-published writers, illustrators, and translators. SCBWI Indiana is for everyone who lives in Indiana and writes, illustrates, and/or translates stories for children (board books, picture books, chapter books, middle grade, graphic novels, and young adults). We offer in-person and virtual events as well as critique groups for authors and illustrators within the chapter.

Try something new! Join us for DOODLES & DRAFTS, a free virtual event for writers and illustrators working on all ages and categories of children’s books. Think of it as half-Telestrations, half-Write/Draw In, with ZERO pressure and a fun twist – a SWAP – designed to amp up your creativity!

Matt Phipps, Editor at G.P. Putnam's Sons, will give you the inside scoop on what editors are looking for when evaluating picture book manuscripts! For more info: https://www.scbwi.org/events/INSCBWI-PB-confidential

Karina Granda, Art Director at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will give 7 written portfolio critiques. On November 14th, each illustrator will have 15 minutes to discuss their artwork and written critique one-on-one with Karina during the two-hour virtual roundtable event.
