Books ordered by local public library systems, digital libraries, bookstores, school libraries, or specialty stores can provide a boost in sales and exposure beyond that gained from individual purchases. Our Book Fairies program helps Carolinas members get the word out about PAL authors’ and illustrators’ newly-released books by sharing information about these titles so members can request that local libraries, bookstores, etc. purchase them.
This is a PAL program where we interview an author or illustrator, selected by random drawing, about the book they’re releasing that month and then share the interview on our website and across our social media. Each month’s featured author/illustrator is determined by drawing one name from those interested. We are so excited to present these interviews with our talented SCBWI Carolinas authors and illustrators!
If you’d like to participate in Book Fairies or be entered in the drawing for a Book Fairies First Look Interview, scroll down to complete the submission form.
If your book does not meet SCBWI PAL qualifications, we still want to celebrate with you! Please complete the form below with news of book releases, agent and/or contract signings, and awards won. We will post a special "Hurrah" across our social media accounts to celebrate! Carolinas Hurrahs are offered to Premium SCBWI members who are residents of the Carolinas region (NC and SC).
