The wonderful SCBWI Australia East NSW creative community gathered for a chinwag and cuppa at Chambers Fine Coffee, Parramatta Square on a beautiful sunny afternoon in late July. It was a fantastic opportunity for members living in Sydney's western suburbs and beyond to join us, as we're making a conscious effort to host social events across Greater Sydney so that everyone has a chance to connect closer to home. Old friends caught up and new faces were welcomed and lots of happy bookish chat took place. It was a wonderful reminder of how valuable it is to connect with fellow writers and illustrators away from our desks.
If you know of a great café or venue in your part of Sydney that would be perfect for a future SCBWI get-together, we'd love to hear from you! Let Lara Porter, our SCBWI social events co-ordinator know by sending her a DM on Instagram @laraporter_illustration and we'll do our best to make it happen.
