So far, plans are for illustrators to bring their portfolios to set out for conference attendees to view. We'll confirm details as we get them.

For an additional fee, you can also have your portfolio critiqued privately by a member of the conference faculty. Also included Saturday afternoon: First Looks. In an open panel discussion, conference faculty will offer their responses to a limited number of illustrations sent in by conference attendees. Details about critiques and First Looks can be found here.

Plans are still being solidified for shared transportation to and from the conference.

The Golden Penn needs your art

The WPA SCBWI's Fall issue of The Golden Penn needs art to liven up its pages. This issue will highlight the November conference in Gettysburg, PA. Please send ChrisAnn Goossen (ChrisAnnKG@verizon.net) digital files (jpeg is fine) for a one time use. We'll include a credit line along with your piece. Seasonal art is welcome as well as a variety of subject matter including animals, nature, kids, books, and the writing and illustration professions.

Thanks for sharing your talents with our readers. If you have any questions, please contact, ChrisAnn.
