British SCBWI is celebrating 10 years of supporting and encouraging Children’s book writers and illustrators with their third conference.
This year the conference is being held between the 13 -14 November 2010, at The Stripe complex, King Alfred Campus, University of Winchester, SO22 4NR. This is also the venue for the regular Winchester Writers Conference which has now been supporting writers for 30 years and the university offers degrees and MA’s in creative writing.
The SCBWI conference is for writers or illustrators focusing on children’s writing. There are opportunities to have work critiqued, talk to agents, and editors and attend workshops as well as networking with established authors and illustrators.
Not a member of SCBWI? Well that doesn’t matter, the conference is open to anyone working or wanting to develop their work in the children’s genre. Check out the official British SCBWI website for more details and how to book your place.
If you are serious about writing for children this is a brilliant place to start. If you become a member, not expensive, there are many benefits: professional series, networking parties, retreats and much, much more.
If you do go, why not drop us a line and let us know how you got on?

SCBWI is great-- been a member for almost a year now! Great place to meet/interact with other like-minded folks!
Lovely to hear from you, Johnnie. I've been a member of SCBWI for five years, but haven't attended any events this year due to writing my first adult novel. Although I keep updated with the daily news letters and those from Wordpool too.
