California: SoCal

Our 2024 calendar features the twelve winning images created by SCBWI SoCal Illustrators. On sale now!

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!

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.
