SCBWI Florida is a statewide chapter of the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators. We are an organization of writers and illustrators of picture books, middle grade readers, and young adult novels for children and teens.

Many of us attend weekly or monthly critique groups within our localized areas. For more information on joining SCBWI or one of our many writers' groups, please contact our regional advisors:

SCBWI Tampa Bay will hold the
FIRST ANNUAL MEET & GREET

for all SCBWI members who live in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco Counties. The event is scheduled for Monday evening, November 30th, from 6:45 until 8:00 pm at 2009 at Bahama Breeze, 3045 N. Rocky Point Drive, E. Tampa. Their number is 813 229 7922. There will be a cash bar so bring money or credit cards for drinks and food.

The purpose of this event is strictly social—a chance to finally meet other children’s writers in Tampa Bay. It’s also an opportunity to find a critique group, a ride to the Miami Conference or a roommate once you’re there. We’ll discuss the results of the survey area members responded to and the future plans for free meetings/lectures for SCBWI members. Do you know someone who is thinking about joining SCBWI? Bring them. It’ll be a blast. See you there!
