The 2025 SCBWI MG/YA Retreat is on its way! The SCBWI MG/YA retreat returns to Holland House on the banks of the beautiful River Avon. This year, we’ll be concentrating on resilience – with so many children’s authors turning to (cosy) crime, how do you maintain your mojo and diversify your talents? We’ve got multi-award winning, internationally best selling YA (and now adult and crime writing) author Teri Terry to help us! Tickets can be bought here at the link below, please note tickets must be purchased through our Ticket Tailor link. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/societyforchildrensbookwritersandillustrators/1550121
