Illustrators have the Portfolio Showcase, putting their illustrations in front of the top publishing professionals working today. And the winners of that portfolio showcase have gone on to have significant careers as illustrators!
Now, on a scale the SCBWI hasn't done before, there's a parallel opportunity for writers:
Registered Winter 2021 conference attendees who are SCBWI members can post up to 500 words of ONE children’s book manuscript, PB text, PB dummy or manuscript synopsis to our online manuscript gallery. Over a hundred editors and agents will be invited to peruse the gallery starting on February 19, 2021. These agents and editors will then reach out to authors whose work is a good fit for their lists. This is a fantastic opportunity to get your work in front of industry professionals!
The deadline to submit your manuscript is February 12, 2021. Find out all the details here.
The full conference information is here - it's going to amazing!
Illustrate and Write On,
Lee
