At the last workshop, I had the benefit of a critique and a one-on-one session with an editor from a major house--those opportunities are worth many times the cost of membership. <BR/><BR/>My critique group's co-founder and I discovered one another on the SCBWI national message boards, and I received my first illustration job as a direct result of a listing in the Publisher's Corner section of the SCBWI magazine.<BR/><BR/>I tell anyone who asks about writing or illustrating for children that the first and most important thing they can do is to join SCBWI. And once you begin to build a career, there's no better way of passing forward all the excellent advice and support you've received along the way, than than through SCBWI.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post and the opportunity to share.<BR/><BR/>Bonnie<BR/><BR/>P.S. Hope to see you at some of the Carolinas events, soon, Beth!BonnieAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033605628106047385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-54403039997563987242008-07-26T22:37:00.000-04:002008-07-26T22:37:00.000-04:00I have the same sentiments exactly :)I have the same sentiments exactly :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-10527344464278736372008-07-26T21:58:00.000-04:002008-07-26T21:58:00.000-04:00I loved joining SCBWI after I started writing beca...I loved joining SCBWI after I started writing because it made me feel like I'd really committed to the life and was a real live writer.<BR/>I've met some wonderful wonderful people through SCBWI!PJ Hooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602205868934777662noreply@blogger.com
