SCBWI: The Society of Children’s Book Writers and IllustratorsAmongst all the wonderfully talented authors and illustrations at this year’s festival, SCBWI: The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (informally called ‘Scoobie’) will be present.
SCBWI is a non-profit organisation with 22,000 members internationally, and the Wales network is currently taking shape.
Some of this year’s hosts such as writer, Eloise Williams http://www.eloisewilliams.com and artist, Nuria Otte https://ootsotte.com are already members, however SCBWI is also for aspiring creatives.
It’s a place to nurture fresh talent, inform and encourage you on the road to publication, pick you up if rejections come your way, and celebrate your successes, big or small!
The Wales network was revived in 2015 and has been building its member base ever since. We have regular informal catch-ups in both Carmarthen and Cardiff, host online critique groups, have a very active FB page, and have just started our programme of events and workshops for 2017. We cover all age groups and genres from picture books through to YA (young adult), and have members across the country.
