Happy Snowday, from New York! Hope those who are experiencing this weather is safe, warm and cozy—especially with a book. Me? I'm chugging away on my projects, keeping the post-conference fire alive as we make our way to warmer weather and the energy of spring's renewal.
Very much like my last post about The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, I am seeking things to fill my cup and what better way to do that then check out the countless resources that SCBWI offers to its members.
Did you know that SCBWI host events all over the world, and all year round?
The amazing thing about SCBWI is that it has chapters in almost every region, that host events, meet-ups, drawing sessions, you name it, lead by amazing volunteer leaders who "coordinate communications, activities, and events" so the members can take part in the benefits of being in this creative community.
Here is a directory to the SCBWI Global Regions so you can find your home region for latest local news and activities.
Go to your Member Home page, click the My Profile button, then the Edit My Profile button. Scroll down the page and click "Set your SCBWI home region," then click the arrow and choose your home region to add it to your profile. If there isn’t a region in your country, we invite you to select the International Central region where you may connect with members in more than 60 nations around the world.
SCBWI regions host a wide variety of affordable In-Person Events. From retreats to conferences, you'll find the perfect program for connecting with other creatives and improving your craft. Check here often to find a nearby event that fits your interests.
On top of in-person events, SCBWI regions offer affordable Virtual Events featuring industry professionals from all around the globe – and you can attend from the comfort of your own home! Check here often to find a webinar that fits your interests and your budget.
As for me, I will be attending Savoring the Sentence: Food, Craft and Lyrical Prose in Picture Books with Antwan Eady this Friday!
Through a farm-to-table lens, this discussion-based workshop explores literature and the craft of writing for young dreamers, examining how place, food, land, time, and community shape narrative voice and form. With an emphasis on critical reading and discussion, writers and illustrators will walk away with practical insights they can carry into their own work. The author of The Gathering Table and The Last Stand, Antwan Eady, will be in conversation with SCBWI Podcast host and author, Theo Baker.
