f you live in Oklahoma and would like to write or
illustrate children's books, you've come to the right
place.
We
are a group of writers and
illustrators who come together to learn from each other and to encourage each other. You become a member of our group when you join the
international SCBWI. You can find the national office at
www.scbwi.org.
The mailing address is: SCBWI,
8271 Beverly Boulevard,
Los Angeles,
California
90048
.
In
Oklahoma, we come together twice each year for conferences. Our fall conference is in
Chandler, Oklahoma, between
Oklahoma City
and Tulsa, and is free to members. At the fall conference, our
members share their expertise with each other.
In April
we bring in editors, agents, art directors or successful
writers from other states to speak and review
manuscripts and art work. The spring conference alternates between
Tulsa
and Oklahoma City.
Each
month SCBWI Oklahoma has meetings in
Tulsa
and Oklahoma City. We call
these informal meetings Schmoozes.
At a Schmooze we usually discuss some aspect of the
writing business, and we enjoy the chance to visit with
each other.
Let
us know if you have questions about Oklahoma SCBWI.
