Virtual Coffee Meet-Ups
As our members are spread across New Zealand we run fun virtual coffee catch-ups, where you get to meet other members, share what writing or illustration projects you're working on and have an opportunity to ask questions about publishing. Keep an eye out for our next one coming soon. And of course cake is optional!

Get together with your fellow illustrators and author/illustrators throughout Aotearoa. Bring along any questions you may have that relate to illustrating books or working with publishers, agreements, portfolios etc. We'll do our best to answer them!

Hello SCBWI New Zealand members!
If you've been a member for some time or are new to SCBWI, it's important to us that you get the most from your membership. With changes to international privacy laws, all members are required to select our region to receive communications from SCBWI New Zealand. You might be a fully paid-up member but unless you select New Zealand as your region you won't appear on our regional member list and won't receive regular newsletters etc from us. The new SCBWI website allows members to follow multiple regions which is super handy if you're keen on attending online events, or are planning an overseas trip.
