Build Your Community

We're so glad you've joined our community of creatives. To make the most of your time here, your first step is to set the Midsouth as your Home Region. Choosing Midsouth ensures you appear on our regional membership roster so you can receive emails from the Regional Team. Follow these easy steps to ensure you never miss out on the great things happening in our region:

Choose the Midsouth as your Home Region

1. Login to your Member Home Page by clicking here.

2. Scroll down to "My Regions." If you do NOT see the Midsouth listed here, you will not appear on our regional membership roster to receive emails and updates from the Regional Team. To change that:

• Under Settings, scroll down to "Set your SCBWI home region, and add others you're interested in" and click on the green arrow.
• Select "Midsouth (Kentucky/Tennessee)" from the drop-down menu.
• Click on the green "Update" button.

3. Now, confirm that your membership is current. To do that:
