This summer I'm a guest blogger for SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators). Watch for my posts every Thursdays throughout August on the SCBWI Official Blog. 

I open Week 1 with "SCBWI: One Intro to Another, Learning from Each Other," focusing on individuals and moments that led to writing for young people, then joining the regional team of SCBWI Japan, volunteering my time, and gaining a deep education in the craft of picture books and novels, learning from every speaker we featured and the monthly events we held for writers, illustrators and translators.

Week 2 dives into the Asian Festival of Children's Content with SCBWI opportunities in Asia.

Week 3 tackles Translation and the Wide Worlds of KidLit. 

Week 4 explores The Lasting Impact of an Internship.

Have a look!
