Bootcamp: Marketing & Selling Your Book Like a Pro

Whether you're traditionally published, self-published, or somewhere in between, marketing and selling your book can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to figure it out alone. Join us on March 1st, from 8 AM to 2 PM CST for our first bootcamp of the year, a focused and practical event designed for authors and illustrators who want to master the business side of books. From growing your audience to increasing book sales, this event is packed with expert insights, real-world strategies, and hands-on workshops tailored to help you reach your readers and make an impact. This event is designed for authors and illustrators at any stage—whether you’re launching your first book or looking to grow your sales.

APPLY NOW: The 2025 ATX SCBWI Scholarship is a newly created scholarship that includes a one year of premium SCBWI membership and attendance to all webinars for the remainder of 2025 (that's 7 webinars!). This scholarship is intended to assist Texas authors or illustrators who want to pursue a career creating books for kids or teens and have a financial need and/or come from historically underrepresented communities. Apply by February 28, 2025!
