Welcome to the 2024 SCBWI Summer Conference #scbwiSummer24! We received a warm greeting from Sarah Baker, Executive Director of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
Sarah encouraged us to meet others via the Coffee Lounge hangouts as well as other socials, to check out the Portfolio Showcase. All the links are in the conference schedule.
Sarah talked about some of the other exciting upcoming events at the conference, and she encouraged us all to check out the Conference Portfolio Showcase, where 154 members' artwork is on display. She congratulated everyone who entered.
Next up: SCBWI Success Story Panel, moderated by Alvina Ling, featuring SCBWI members Pamela Harris and Amy Kumph.
