SCBWI Scotland's First "Welcome to Success" workshop

==========================================

(Part 1 of a Three Tier Workshop series)

When: 

Where: Willie's Room in The Soutar House, 27 Wilson Street,
Perth. You can park on the street; alternatively it's a fifteen-
minute walk or five minute taxi ride from either Perth Bus Station or
Perth Railway Station.

Speaker: Elizabeth Wein, author of The Mark of Solomon duology
Elizabeth Wein's most recent books are The Lion Hunter and The Empty
Kingdom, which together form The Mark of Solomon duology. Released
in April 2008, The Empty Kingdom has already received glowing
reviews, but it is The Lion Hunter which has earned Elizabeth her
name. As well as being on the short list for the Andre Norton Award
given by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America for the
year's best young adult fantasy or science fiction novel, The Lion
Hunter was also listed among the year's best young adult novels for
2007 by both School Library Journal and Kirkus Reviews.

Elizabeth has been an SCBWI member since 1991 (she thinks. It might
have been longer). She served as Assistant Regional Advisor for the
British Isles section from 1998-2001 and established its successful
regional newsletter, Words & Pictures, which she edited for five
years.

Programme: Making the Most of SCBWI, How to Tackle The Writers' and
Artists' Yearbook, and Following Up Your Submissions!

What has SCBWI got to offer? Conferences! Competitions! Contacts!
CONFIDENCE!

The SCBWI is a professional worldwide organisation with over 19,000
members, of which SCBWI Scotland is one chapter. The Society
networks and supports those in the literary field, offering critique
groups, workshops, conferences, retreats, and most of all a friendly
and welcoming way to meet other professionals in the field of writing
and illustrating.

Come along and hear Elizabeth Wein's many good reasons for
maintaining her SCBWI membership over the years, and find out how
you, too, can make the most of yours. Elizabeth will also give basic
guidelines about the do's and don'ts of submissions (not to mention
apostrophes), and advice on how to attack those daunting tomes of
information such as The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook.

Cost: £5 for SCBWI members, £7 for non-members. The price includes
the cost of your ticket and refreshments. Spaces are extremely
limited, so please pre-book.

The second part in our three-tier workshop will cover contracts and
clauses … more details to be confirmed soon. If you wish to be kept
informed of such things, please check out our website at
www.scbwiscotland.co.uk and/or our Yahoo group at

Hope to see you all soon.
