Shop Talk

Shop Talk 2024-2025 has a new format!

This year, Shop Talk will incorporate “lunch & learn” style sessions in addition to the regular evening sessions. Each month will alternate between an evening meeting and a lunchtime meeting. Meetings will take place via Zoom and last one hour.

Shop Talk is about making connections with fellow writers and illustrators, while “talking shop.” If you have never attended Shop Talk in the past, or it’s been awhile, we encourage you to join us!
