The Magic of 13 - SCBWI: Northern Ohio 13th Annual Conference

The number thirteen brings to mind superstitions, black cats, and scary days. But the number thirteen is also associated with breaking new ground, revitalizing old strategies and learning some new. Our 13th annual conference, with an all-star faculty, is sure to banish superstitious thoughts and celebrate luck and good fortune for writers and illustrators in this ever-challenging industry.

Our Friday Schedule includes General Sessions and Mac's Backs-Books bookstore opens for business. Late afternoon, join our Meet and Greet divided into picture books, middle grade/young adult, nonfiction and illustrator. Come meet and greet other writers, illustrators, our amazing faculty, and the SCBWI: Northern Ohio Executive Board. What a great way to connect! (Cash bar will be available serving soft drinks and alcohol.) See our AGENDA/FACULTY tab for more information. 

We offer Manuscript and Illustrator's Portfolio Critiques on Friday and Saturday this year.  Register early, as time slots will fill quickly! In an effort to accommodate more of our attendees, we’re offering both a Face-to-Face Critique to discuss your manuscript OR illustrator's portfolio (personally with your critiquer) and a Written-Only Manuscript Critique (not a face-to-face meeting) with written comments only. We’ve also adjusted the number of critiques each attendee may register for, so make sure to read the instructions carefully and follow them precisely. Manuscripts will be returned if directions are not followed.
 
We’re continuing our Annual Publication Celebration on Friday evening. Such accomplishments should be shared with as many peers and fans as possible! For more information, or to see if you meet the criteria, view the ESSENTIALS. tab above. 
 
Our Saturday Schedule continues with our Morning Address, Breakouts, Critiques, Book Basket Donation presentation, Calendar Contest winners, How to Choose a Book video, and First-Pages Panel.
 
There is something for everyone!
 
Remember to review all TABS above before moving forward with the registration process.  During the registration process, review all detail bubbles when applicable and always hit CONTINUE at the bottom of each page.

Thank you for the continued support. We look forward to seeing you soon!
