LOCAL AREA EVENT COORDINATORS: please click here to submit information about your event(s).

If you are a member of the Rocky Mountain Chapter with good news or an event that relates to children's literature or media, we want to spread the word!

If you meet the deadline, your announcement will be compiled with others and appear on the Regional News page on the main SCBWI site for the next month as well as in the monthly e-announcement via MailChimp.

NOTE: You must be a member of the Rocky Mountain Chapter and your news MUST be related to children’s or YA literature.

Please send the following in an email to  Co-Regional Advisor Todd Tuell :

EVENT “OF INTEREST”

If you are teaching a class or hosting an event related to children’s literature, send the following in an email to  Co-Regional Advisor Todd Tuell:

  • Title of your event
  • Brief description (50 word max) written in the 3rd person using paragraph format

“Of interest” events are events that RMC members might like to know about or attend, such as writing or illustrating classes or workshops you are teaching locally. Because these events are not sponsored or endorsed by SCBWI, we cannot list them on the Upcoming Events page on the website (book signings are an exception).

However, they will appear in the monthly announcement that goes out to all members via MailChimp as long as they are received by the deadline posted on the Upcoming Events page.

NOTE: The Co-Regional Advisors reserve the right to exclude events in this category based on SCBWI bylaws, conflicts with RMC-SCBWI events, or if the focus of the event is not related to children’s literature.

Important!
