SCBWI Pennsylvania: East

With the help of dedicated volunteers, the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of SCBWI hosts over a dozen events each year throughout the region as well as virtually. Our past events have included meet and greets, webinars, online critique intensives, author panels, an annual one-day illustrator intensive, in-person workshops, a full-weekend retreat in the Pocono Mountains, and opportunities for PAL (published and listed) members. To bring an event to your Eastern PA town, please contact us at epa@scbwi.org.
