I was just reading my SCBWI magazine and couldn’t believe the volume of information it contained!
This is the magazine of a membership group called the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. It’s filled with adorable illustrations, news of the children’s book world, articles and advice for writers and illustrators, and announcements of local chapter events.
These articles are useful on so many levels and provide plenty of encouragement and ideas for those of us who need that. For example, the Jan/Feb 2011 issue had a tech based article on publishing on Kindle, an article on avoiding bad contracts, an article on advertising through book blogs – all extremely useful and current topics. And these were just some of the usual fare they publish.
I’m glad I kept up my membership with SCBWI, and now intend to go back through my older magazines, and see what else I may have missed!
