Eastern PA SCBWI

First Page Center Stage is back! And we're LIVE in Lancaster! You won't want to miss this day full of feedback. Come for the first page/first look sessions with the art director and editors, stay for the local agent workshops, and don't forget to take advantage of the critique and pitch opportunities while you're there. More information coming soon!

Join us for a day of curating your illustrator portfolio as we honor keynote speaker and local author/illustrator, Julie Fortenberry. Plus world class presentations from invited faculty; and add ons - an AD assignment, and portfolio reviews.

So, you have a handful of manuscripts or illustration styles ready to query. Which one should you lead with? Is your other work strong enough to hook an agent if they request to see more? And what will an agent think about the variety of work you bring? Whether you have multiple submission-ready picture book manuscripts, write across age categories, have a variety of illustration pieces and illustrated works, or a combination of all of the above, Submission Shine is an opportunity to talk with one agent about four submission-ready works AND your writing/illustrating career as a whole. Plus, a webinar to help prepare for the editorial process AND additional feedback from a peer critique group of other Submission Shine participants.
