New England SCBWI
Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators

The workshop committee of New England SCBWI welcomes proposals for the Spring 2009
conference, "Many Voices." The focus of the 2009 conference is creating literature in many
voices and through many forms so that all children can find themselves in the stories they
read.

This is one of the largest regional SCBWI conferences, and we welcome proposals from
everyone. We also encourage artists and writers of color, those who are differently abled,
and others from underrepresented groups to propose conference workshops. In addition to
our customary emphasis on fiction, we will spotlight illustration, poetry, graphic novels, and
non-fiction.

The conference will take place Friday afternoon through Sunday afternoon, April 24th through 26th, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nashua, New Hampshire.
