To be eligible, you need to be able to say “yes!” to all of the following:
• You are an SCBWI member at the PAL (published and listed) level and your profile at SCBWI.org is updated to reflect this.
•
You live in the official Western Washington region. If you’re a
member and uncertain which region you’re in, please email us and we’ll
check for you.
•
Your publisher is on SCBWI’s list of recognized (traditional) PAL
publishers. You can find the accepted publisher list by going to your
SCBWI member profile page, clicking “Add” in the “Books” section under
“Publications.” Find “Publisher” (not “Other Publisher”) and type in
your publisher’s name in the box that says, “Start typing…”
•
Your book is released between three months before and three months
after the month of the Inside Story event (February 2016 to August
2016).
• Your book is readily available through normal trade channels (e.g., Baker & Taylor).
Exceptions
to PAL published books include self-published books that were
originally published by a PAL publisher, books that are a continuation
of a PAL published series, and Spark Award books.
The application form is here. Please fill in all areas.
Then please send an image of your book cover (PDF or jpg in the 1MB
range) to Dana Sullivan at [email protected] for inclusion in
the Inside Story program. You will hear back a week or two after the
application deadline with further information.
If you’re not planning to present this time around, please mark this event on your calendar anyway. You won’t want to miss it!
Sincerely,
Dori & Deb, Inside Story Coordinators
