Welcome to Iowa SCBWI

Join us and your fellow creators April 12th-14th, 2024 at The River Center in Davenport Iowa! Registration begins January 12! Scholarships Available!

We are pleased to offer three scholarship opportunities in addition to scholarships offered by each of our six sponsor regions (Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin)

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.
