Dear SCBWI (VIC) members
Get excited - our biggest event of the year is nearly here! We are thrilled to announce the lineup of our Professional Development Day on Saturday July 26 at Library at the Dock. We've been scheming behind the scenes for months, and have now confirmed an epic full-day program of learning and inspiration.
Our FIVE incredible guest speakers will be:
Jess McGeachin - The best bits are in the basement: A deep dive into researching and creating a children’s non-fiction book
Karen Comer - The art of verse novels
Leigh Hobbs - Creating characters that will engage young readers
Jane Godwin - The 5 most important things I’ve learnt about making books for young people
Adam Wallace - Making school visits amazing (for the kids and you!)
Incredible lineup, right?? Read on for more details about these kidlit superstars and their presentations, which are sure to spark and enrich the creativity of authors and illustrators alike.
