This conference is SOLD OUT. The waiting list is closed.
Please note: the name of our SCBWI Midwestern conference was changed to ‘Marvelous Midwest’ after learning the original reference to ‘wild west’ is offensive. The conference planning team is working on plans to discuss the issue as a source of learning at the conference.
This is a 3-day professional conference for authors and illustrators of children’s books hosted by six regions within the Society of Children’s Book Authors and Illustrators. Professional editors, agents, art directors, industry experts, and prominent authors and illustrators will present intensives and breakouts on the industry and artistry of children’s book publishing.
