California: SoCal

Come support local authors and illustrators at our SoCal region's booth at the OC Childrens Book Festival! Buy books, get autographs, see their presentations live onstage! Sunday, Oct. 1, 9:30-4:00 at OCC.

Join us as we learn about craft and book publishing, connect with professionals in the industry, and mingle with other SCBWI attendees. We have a full day of speakers: agents, an editor, an art director, and published authors and published illustrators - Sat., Oct. 7, 8:30-5:00.

Our region includes San Bernardino, Riverside, Long Beach and Orange County. We are a friendly group that provides meet-ups, critique groups, a spring MG/YA writers retreat and a fall conference. If you are just starting out or have a long-standing career as a writer or illustrator, you are invited to join us. We’re all about making connections!
