SCBWI New York: West/Central Upstate

Writers and illustrators spend many hours alone working on their craft. In our region, writers and illustrators can network at our Events, ShopTalk, and PAL meetings online and in-person. Thank you for popping in!

What are your plans for the New Year? What do you need to know to take your next step toward publishing? As a group we can help each other find the answers.

Don't Look Back: A Memoir of War, Survival, and My Journey from Sudan to America by Achut Deng and Keely Hutton. Published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, Inc. The SCBWI Crystal Kite Awards are presented annually for PAL books that represent excellence in the field of children’s literature. The Crystal Kite Awards are peer-selected and voted on by SCBWI members.
