Helpful Links for Writers

The Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators

This is the only professional organization for children's writers. If you are a member of SCBWI, you have access to very helpful information on getting published, FAQs, etc. on the SCBWI website. Also, you can get involved in regional chapters of SCBWI to get connected with critique groups and conferences.

SCBWI Regional websites I like:

Western Pennsylvania

Michigan

Jane Yolen's Website

Go here for lots of information about Jane Yolen’s books as well as a lot of detailed information for writers.

Verla Kay's Website and Blue Boards

Harold Underdown's Website

This site has good information about when/how to get an agent.

Rhymezone
