Scbwi winter conference online- anyone signing up?

[Lorna H]

@Coley - Hi there, I’m going to go along, I actually got interested in Scbwi in general after reading earlier posts between yourself and @Neha-Rawat, so thank you, and what an amazing achievement to win the portfolio showcase . I’m a beginner but I’d love to join any Scbwi winter conference chat group you have nearer the time. I’m a bit disappointed as hadn’t realised there’s no chance for one to one critique, I’m needing to improve lots so could do with the feedback, but looking forward to getting inspired by other amazing writers and artists! (By the way @coley - I meant to say a while back, I LOVED your Wizard of Oz book cover, it was one of my favourites so I could not understand why it wasn’t in the top 16 of critique arena! It was awesome! Well done this month too, beautiful image for “together”.

@Lorna-H thanks for the compliments . Nice to have some feedback too .
I'll definitely add you into the chat When the time approaches! I'll refer back to this thread so I don't miss anyone!
It was a fun little way to connect with each other so I'm really looking forward to it again. Thanks again and will definitely add you when the time comes

[Lorna H]

@Coley - thank you so much. That would be awesome

I’m starting an Instagram chat for anyone who is registered for the winter conference and wants to chat during it, just chat about some of the talks etc, of course people could have a bigger, more open thread here on the forum if they want too. But if you want something a little smaller, send me a message here on the forum with your Instagram name or message me on Instagram. I’m nicoleledrewmayart I think. Lol. Or just Nicole LeDrewmay. You’ll find me!

[Kevin Longueil]

@Coley I'll be there too ..for as much as i can... it looks like recordings of the events will be available through March 31st which should prove helpful.

[Coley]

@Kevin-Longueil yes for sure!

[Neha Rawat]

I was just thinking about this earlier today! The small group chat we had going on last time made the event so much more fun. I've signed up this time as well so please add me to the group! My handle is @NRBstudio.in

[LauraA]

Oh fun! Please add me in! I'm a bit ahead of the time zone, so I'll be watching some things after the fact, but I'll participate when I can.

My Instagram is in my signature link. Thank you for taking this initiative!

[seelliott]

Hi, I am going to the conference. Started to get excited! I will be a bit off with the timezone as I am in the UK but going to do some late nights to watch as much as I can.

I would love to join a chat. My instagram is @seelliottcreations.

[LauraA]

SVSers, you must be doing something right, because we're looking pretty good as a group in the SCBWI Portfolio showcase! Your hard work is paying off! Also, thank you, @Lee-White @Jake-Parker @Will-Terry and all you other SVS teachers and members, for all the critique arenas, classes, forum critiques, and the emphasis on readable images and storytelling .

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

My portfolio is not on the Porfolio Showcase. I don’t know what’s happening. I’ve already contacted scbwi, no replies yet.

[Coley]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz omg that’s horrible! Maybe tag them on social media if no response? That will probably get their attention....meantime, do you want to be on the Instagram chat thread? I could add you if you want!

[Heather Boyd]

@Coley Not this year unfortunately. I know it will be a good chat. Maybe next year!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Coley thanks. Yeah, I’d love that.

[carlianne]

@Coley can you add me to the chat too?

[Lorna H]

@Coley - I'd love to join your chat group please. I'm attending as much as I can in the next two days. I had a poorly daughter today so missed loads (sod's law with the timing ), but I'd love to join your chat group! My Instagram is www.instagram.com/lornashawart. It's been so inspiring to hear from great writers and see beautiful artwork! @Nyrryl-Cadiz - I hope you got someone to speak to about your portfolio, that's so frustrating
