Serious about improving your craft? SCBWI's regional events provide opportunities for professional growth and help you connect with a supportive, creative community.
Join SCBWI Western Washington Nov. 7 - 9, 2025, at an all-new location for a full weekend of virtual workshops with Feiwel & Friends Senior Editor Kat Brzozowski and in-person workshops with award-winning local author/illustrator Ellie Peterson. Enjoy hands-on learning, creative time, community, great food, and inspirational nature. Kat will join the group by Zoom for a three-hour workshop on Saturday, with other workshops and group activities throughout the weekend. Opportunities for individual critiques from the editor are available separately. Basic retreat registration includes a shared room ($500 for members, $575 for nonmembers), or optionally add $100 for a single room.
Have you recently published a new book? CONGRATULATIONS! Now it's time to tell the world about it at Inside Story, our region’s biannual celebration of book creators. This November, we invite our membership, area booksellers, teachers, and librarians to attend on zoom and hear from eligible PAL (Published and Listed) authors and illustrators.
