2026 Virtual Winter Conference: THIS WEEK!



The 2026 Virtual Winter Conference is almost here! Join SCBWI on February 6th and 7th to continue the fun with exclusive industry panels, hands-on sessions on writing and illustrating, as well as networking opportunities to meet other creators.

Get inspired by keynotes from renowned children's book creators, like Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich and Traci Sorell.

Attend the several panels, like Ready, Set...Submit! and  First Pages Panel, where you will get insider knowledge on how to make your first page hook in the reader instantly, with real-time critique of attendee's work. I am always interested and enlightened when I attend the State of the Children's Book Industry panels, moderated by the wonderful TeMika Grooms!

With wonderful Creative Labs to attend, this is your chance to join in, for those who couldn't attend the In-Person Conference back in January.

So take the leap and experience the chance to boost your children's book knowledge, and career!

"Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, gain insider knowledge, or connect with other talented authors and illustrators, this event is for you! If you can't make it to the live sessions, video replays will be available to view through March 15th."

Register HERE for the 2026 Virtual Winter Conference!
