1. Monthly Member News Announcements - Share your creative news! Do you have a book release, or perhaps a publishing deal or an award to announce? Do you have photos from recent writing/illustration events? Maybe you have a book trailer or an interview link, or details of an upcoming workshop you’re leading… Send us your updates, we’d love to celebrate with you! Email Juliana Spink Mills membernews@nescbwi.org to be included in our regional newsletter. When possible, please include a short paragraph on ‘getting it done’.
2. Virtual ShopTalks - Once a month we have a PAL or Full member present to the members in our region about a topic of their choice. ShopTalks are one hour online presentations through Zoom on a topic of the presenter's choice. Presenters are paid $175 for an hour long presentation which includes a Q & A. ShopTalks will be recorded and available to registered participants for one month after the presentation. Interested in presenting? Fill out this proposal form and our Assistant Regional Advisor, Alexandra Hinrichs, will contact you to set a date.
