Welcome to the SCBWI-Oregon! Before you write to me with questions, be sure to check our EVENTS link as well as our HELPFUL LINKS to answer questions about children's book publishing and to learn more about what we do here in Oregon and southern Washington.
Our annual Spring Conference, Aspire to Inspire, was our best conference yet! Sorry if you missed it,
but I post all our events here and on SCBWI.org's events pages as well as in the Bulletin. Our next event is the picnic in June, then in October we
have our annual retreat. Registrations will be mailed to members and subscribers in mid-August, and this event fills up very quickly. Make sure your membership and/or subscription is current in order to receive a registration brochure.
More about us
The SCBWI-Oregon is a regional chapter of the Society of Children's
Book Writers and Illustrators -- SCBWI. We publish the bimonthly NewsWorthy
which offers feature articles, interviews, information about local events,
publishing tidbits, critique networks and good news from our subscribers as well as
a yearly local roster. Click NEWSLETTER for a subscription application. We have a listserv which all are welcome to join, just let me know if you are interested and I will send you an invitation. We also host this web site which is devoted to our Oregon and southern Washington
members. We provide updated member info regarding school visits, illustrator samples, published works,
and links to member webpages. This is a free service. Headed by a steering committee of volunteers, the SCBWI Oregon chapter offers two major events
per year: the Spring Conference on the third Friday-Saturday in May, and
the Fall Retreat, the second weekend in October (Thursday-Sunday). We also host a picnic in the summer and assist with new critique groups throughout Oregon and southern Washington.Click on the EVENTS button for news of our upcoming events. Although membership in the SCBWI International is not a prerequisite in
order to subscribe to our local newsletter, you must be a member to be
eligible for several grants and awards and discounts. Please visit SCBWI's
Webpage for more information. SCBWI Oregon and southern Washington members, plus all of our newsletter subscribers, will
receive our event registrations. If you are not current on either list,
you will need to sign up to receive mailings for our events as they
take place: *Spring Conference registrations are mailed in mid-March; *Fall Retreat registrations are mailed in mid-August. Please Note: We do not keep a mailing list of non-Oregon or southern Washington members/subscribers.
