A piece of conference advice from Megan Hoyt, the Carolinas Regional Member Outreach Coordinator:
For new members thinking about attending:
Attention new members! We hope you have taken advantage of all the online resources SCBWI has to offer. And now, it’s time to sign up for the annual SCBWI Carolinas Conference! At the conference, you will meet likeminded authors and illustrators who are on the same journey, attend craft sessions to tighten and advance your skills, and be inspired by authors, agents, and editors throughout the weekend. Looking for a critique group? Come to the conference and connect with other local authors. And remember, if you have any questions, we are here for you!
For new members who are already attending:
Already registered for the conference? If this is your first time attending, you are going to love it! The breakout sessions will enlighten you. The larger sessions will inspire you. But above all, this is where you will make lifelong friends and find community. Try not to be overwhelmed by the firehose of new information on craft and the publishing business. Whether you take small sips or guzzle big gulps, build in moments of rest, and remember, the road to publishing is a winding one. We are all here to support one another! So relax, ask questions, soak it all in. You are welcome here!
