SCBWI 16th Annual Winter Conference
The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators will host its 16th Annual Winter Conference in New York City, on February 6-8. Attendees will take part in workshops and intensives led by publishing professionals and top authors and illustrators. The Winter Conference features three intensives including the Writers Intensive, Writers Roundtables, and Illustrator Intensive. See the complete schedule for intensives here: www.scbwi.org/event-16th-annual-scbwi-winter-conference-in-new-york/intensives/
The impressive speaker lineup includes Kwame Alexander (PW’s Best Books of 2014 alum for The Crossover), James Dashner, Kami Garcia, Anthony Horowitz, Herve Tullet, and Laura Vaccaro Seeger.
Participants will also have the opportunity to meet leaders in children’s publishing, with the possibility of advancing their own career. SCBWI’s Executive Director Lin Oliver says, “Over the years we’ve been doing the conferences, literally hundreds of authors and illustrators have been discovered. It’s a pleasure to see people who were once attendees now on the faculty and leaders in our field.”
