SCBWI Nevada

Welcome to SCBWI Nevada—a diverse and vibrant network for children's book creators living in Las Vegas, Reno, and rural Nevada areas. Whether you create board books, picture books, graphic novels, middle grade novels, or young adult novels, we have programs to help you improve your craft and help you bring your work to market. Join us for opportunities to help you grow your career in children's literature.

Nevada SCBWI will have a booth at the Las Vegas Book Festival at the Historic 5th Street School on Saturday, October 18th, from 10am - 5pm. Stop by and say hello, or volunteer to help run the booth. Email [email protected] if you are interested in volunteering.

We are looking for a new illustration to represent our region! We love our cowboy, designed by Ken Lamug, but it is time to choose a new image to represent writers and illustrators of children's literature in Nevada. You must be a member of SCBWI living in Nevada to enter the contest. All entries are due by December 1, 2025. The link below will take you to our entry form. You may submit up to three entries/designs per person.

Join us for monthly in-person meetings. Network with your local kidlit community, enjoy a free craft presentation, and stay connected. Check our events page for details.
