Tulsa Connect: Our Favorite Writing and Illustrating Resources
Oct 14, 2025
Unlimited seats
Memorial Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 2906 S Yale Ave, Tulsa, OK 74114
In person in Tulsa and on Zoom for the entire region. We all know that an SCBWI membership is the best resource for children's book writers and illustrators. However, the dizzying array of additional resources targeted to creative folks can leave you, well...dizzy. A panel of experienced SCBWI OK/AR members from throughout the region will share the resources that, in their opinion, were totally worth the money, and the ones that didn't work for them - and they'll tell us their reasons why. These resources might apply to general writing or illustrating craft, or be specifically for traditional or self-published authors. Come with questions and join us for a relaxed and fun discussion. 6:30PM at Memorial Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 2906 S Yale Ave, Tulsa, OK 74114
