Welcome to SCBWI Iowa!

Writing can seem like an individual sport, but it truly takes a team. Our region offers state-wide conferences and local events that feature lessons on craft; industry advice; and connections to great agents, art directors, editors, and authors. Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to meet like-minded people who love writing and illustrating for children. Whether you’re just starting out, ready to submit work, or have a long-standing career, SCBWI-Iowa has something for everyone. We believe that together we are stronger.
