Lighting the Spark - SCBWI British Isles Conference
Sat 1 Nov 2014 to Sun 2 Nov 2014
The British Isles Chapter of the SCBWI, a professional organisation of writers, illustrators, editors, publishers, agents, librarians, educators, booksellers and others involved with literature for young people

Keynote speakers this year are Cathy Cassidy, Nick Butterworth and, for the all-new PULSE
strand aimed at published children’s authors, Sally Gardner. Adhering to the theme of Riding 
the Waves of Change, this year’s SCBWI conference will focus on the changing face of 
children’s book publishing, offering on the Saturday specialist industry panels with speakers 
from the very largest houses to representatives of vibrant indies.

Additional panels for illustrators  and non-fiction writers cover developments in the world of picture books and educational publishing. Published members will be able to participate in a discussion on self-promotion best practices. Saturday evening’s exclusive party will give delegates the chance to celebrate new members’ 2014 publications and network with a stellar list of industry professionals.
