Marketing and Promotion

Illustrators can feature their online portfolios in our Illustrator Gallery, which is visited by art directors and others looking to hire illustrators. Each month we select an illustrator member to feature.

Promote your books at our online SCBWI BookStop event. Once a year, in November and December, members are given the opportunity to create a special sales page on the SCBWI website for a newly published book.

Traditionally published creators may opt to have their books listed on SCBWI’s Recommended Reading List. July is reserved for independently published creators.

Traditionally and independently published authors, illustrators, and translators can advertise in our Speaker’s Bureau, an online database used by teachers and librarians to find speakers for school visits.

Illustrators can also submit their art to be considered for the Featured Illustrator, whose art is spotlighted on SCBWI’s main page for one month.

SCBWI will feature PAL members’ books the third Wednesday of each month with a live interview hosted on Instagram.
