We have a late-breaking news flash about our
SCBWI Western
Washington Conference!
Washington Conference!
After this year, we will be producing our beloved
conference EVERY OTHER YEAR.
conference EVERY OTHER YEAR.
Don’t worry––we will be creating other
valuable and exciting programming for next April in place of the
conference. However, if you have been on the fence about signing up for
this year’s conference, NOW IS THE TIME TO REGISTER!

We won’t be
offering this kind of experience again until 2017.
Why
is this happening, you may wonder…. In order to create a schedule that
our hardworking volunteers can sustain, we’ve decided to alternate
retreats and conferences. Another advantage to this alternating schedule
is that we know it’s often difficult to choose which special event to
spend your dollars on. If you’ve only been able to attend one event per
year, you can do so without needing to make the choice between two great
options.

You know, this makes good sense. I know our volunteers give up a lot of their valuable writing / drawing time to put on these events. And a year goes round quickly (faster and faster all the time!) Sometimes I wonder if they get anything else done but our programming. But if I could put a bug in your ear–a nice one–we should get on board the Whole Novel Workshop idea. These are happening on the east coast, but seldom here. They are invaluable workshops–I know, I've traveled cross country for 3 of them. Cheers, Claudia
thank you, Claudia! I appreciate your support. And I want to hear more about Whole Novel Workshops. They sound intriguing.
