Inside
Story is more than a celebration of new books. It’s inspiration to create your
own! The event began as an opportunity to support our local bookstores and
librarians, and it’s stuffed with information on the “inside stories” of
children’s books from picture books to YA—with the feel of a fast-paced game
show.

Our Western

SCBWI is now piloting it with numerous chapters across the United States. Read about that here.

At our
upcoming Inside Story, you’ll hear a little about its history from Laura
Kvasnosky, who created the concept for this popular event. In the late 1990s, George
Shannon spearheaded brainstorm sessions with authors and children’s booksellers.
With George’s help, Laura’s idea took hold, and Chauni Haslett, a well-loved
bookseller who ran All For Kids Books and Music, offered her program room as a
place to meet. The rest, as they say, is history. Inside Story has evolved
through the years, but the mission remains to support our local bookstores and
those who connect books with kids.
