WELCOME to the Indiana chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and to the active and talented group of Hoosier authors and artists.
Our 2009 calendar was full of exciting events. We had Summer Schmoozes in Zionsville and Michigan City. Evansville held our first Hoosierlinks event with featured author Margaret McMullan. Fiction bookpackager editor Sara Grant talked to us on September 19 about Creative Collaboration, and our Picture Book Conference was November 7th. Please continue to check back for updated information on events for 2010.
Number one on our agenda is to get all Indiana SCBWI members on our Yahoo e-mail group. If you are an SCBWI member living in Indiana and wish to be added, please join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IN-SCBWI/ Becoming a member of the e-mail list is the best way to stay current on SCBWI events and other relevant information, as well as reduce mailing costs for the chapter. Please e-mail Alina Klein with any questions or problems regarding the Yahoo group.
If you are not a member of SCBWI and wish to join, go to the national SCBWI site at www.scbwi.org for details. In becoming a national member you will automatically be a member of our local Indiana chapter if you live in Indiana.
