Serious about improving your craft? SCBWI's regional events provide opportunities for professional growth and help you connect with a supportive, creative community.
Let’s Get Graphic! In this webinar, author-illustrator Jonathan Roth will provide an overview of this ever-expanding art form and give lots of creator tips on how to write, format, illustrate and submit your ideas. This webinar will be geared toward writers and/or illustrators (you don’t have to do both!) of all kidlit genres and subjects.
We will be having our virtual fall critique event on Thursday, October 23rd, from 6 to 9 pm. We will review the first ten pages of a novel or a full picture book manuscript. We will exchange manuscripts on October 16. Here is the link to register for the event NOW: https://forms.gle/bEezU9QR9ExW2p726
