three-day event provides tremendous opportunities for growing your
career as a writer and/or illustrator for children, but you don’t need
to take our word for it. Here‘s what some of your peers said about last year’s conference:
- “Where
do I begin? The networking, the shared knowledge, the confidence and
drive to move forward in this career… and the chocolate chip cookies
didn’t hurt, either.” —Ryan Hatch (first-time attendee)
- “I
always learn more about the industry at the conferences, but what I
cherish are all the notes I take home giving me new things to try and
new ways to sharpen my craft.” —Janet Lee Carey (seasoned pro)
- “[What
I liked most about the conference was] the welcoming and friendly
attitude of all who attended. I didn’t know anyone and found it
incredibly easy to meet people and connect. [I] felt like I was among
400 fabulous people who were a lot like me. … I’m taking away lots of
encouragement to keep drawing and painting, a greater understanding of
how to write dialogue well, a greater understanding of how to create a
believable and authentic character, and a greater understanding of how
the submission process works and how many revisions it may take to get
to a finished product.” —Karla Johnson
- “As
always, I come away inspired and more informed. There is a creative
energy at the SCBWI conference that fuels me as a creative force. But I
also learned more about myself within a changing industry. There was
valuable and realistic information provided.” —Susan Ogilvie
- “These
are the people I want to work with. I consider every contact I made to
be someone with the same enthusiasm and passion that I strive for in my
own life.” —Jeff James
- “The
entire event was fun, funny, flirty, fascinating, inFormative,
futuristic (okay that is dreaming that the future brings contracts) and
finally fulfilling! Thank you so much!” —Lynette Sandbloom
- And, a full 100% of our attendees said they would recommend the conference to a friend!
