It's the first official conference event, and even though the SCBWI Winter Conference is an all-virtual event this 2021, there's still going to be an LGBTQ+ and Allies Social!
Are you writing, illustrating, or translating works for kids, tweens, or teens with LGBTQAI2+ characters or themes? Or are you thinking of doing so? Then this is the social for you!
I'm hosting, and you can join in.
Day: Tuesday February 16, 2021
Time: 4pm Pacific - 5pm Pacific
We'll be gathering in a safe space zoom room, and our special faculty guests will include Jane Yolen (multi award-winning author of 386 books for kids and adults)
 |
| The "How Do Dinosaurs..." series may be better known, but this is the most recent of Jane's titles. |
Heidi Stemple (author of, most recently, with Jane, I Am The Storm)
Laurent Linn (author/illustrator of the YA novel Draw the Line and art director at Simon & Schuster
along with SCBWI staff moderators April Powers, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer at SCBWI
Julian Petri,
Executive Director Lin Oliver,
Associate Executive Director Sarah Baker,
Director of Special Projects Kim Turrisi,
As well as Claudia Pearson and Debra Schmidt.
Conference registrants will receive a PDF schedule with event links. On clicking to join, you'll have to register for this zoom social with your name and email, and then you'll be welcomed in.
We hope to see you there. Stay safe,
Lee
