SCBWI Nebraska

Welcome! The Nebraska region serves members over a wide geographical area. We host events that connect writers and illustrators and help our members grow in their craft, skills, and understanding of the publishing marketplace.

We’re kicking off 2025 with our fifth annual Indi-500 (word) Challenge! Once again, we have TWO contests: one for writers and one for illustrators. This is an SCBWI Nebraska members-only race to the finish. Based on selected themes and prompts, contestants create a 500-word story or spot illustration in just 48 hours starting January 17.

Join us at Vino Mas in Omaha on February 8, 2025 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. Bring your smiling face and a drive to get to know your fellow creatives. Food provided; drinks available for purchase.

Shop Talk 2024-2025 has a new format!

Regional Meetings are back with a twist. These bi-monthly meetings will feature presenters specializing in kidlit. Free to all SCBWI Nebraska premium members.
