Articles on Writing for ChildrenAdditional topics for members include:
Children’s Writing MarketsThe SCBWI market listings are vital for children’s writers. Open to members only, they include:
Writing Discussion BoardsThis online forum lets members post questions and receive answers on topics such as creativity, technique and structure, critique groups, market information, legal questions and more. Manuscript CritiquesMembers may receive a critique on their manuscript in two ways. The Manuscript Exchange list connects writers willing to do written critiques by postal mail, and a portion of the Discussion Boards is dedicated to online critiques. Even if you don’t post your own story, you’ll learn a lot by reading critiques of other writers’ work. Writing Awards & GrantsSCBWI awards and grants are given for both published work and for works-in-progress. Categories range from excellence in children’s literature to humor, historical, and new authors. SCBWI Writers ConferencesSCBWI holds two international writers conferences each year, where children’s writers can hone their skills and meet editors, agents and respected authors. The summer conference is in Los Angeles, and winter is in New York. In addition, regional chapters sponsor smaller conferences lasting 1-3 days. Conferences are open to the public, but SCBWI members receive discounts. SCBWI MembershipMembership is open to anyone interested in children’s literature. The cost is $75 for the first year, and $60 for renewing members. Visit the SCBWI website for more information.
