Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Acadia Retreat
October 24 - October 28
The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) New England is thrilled to announce a brand new retreat at Schoodic Institute! Open to traditionally published authors and illustrators, the Acadia Retreat will be held October 24-28, 2024 at Schoodic Institute in Acadia National Park in Winter Harbor, Maine.
SCBWI New England’s stellar faculty for this inaugural retreat are: Eileen Robinson (Editorial Director/Executive Editor, Charlesbridge Moves), Kevin Hawkes (Author/Illustrator), and Alison Johnson (Director of School Programs for Island Readers & Writers). In addition to faculty presentations, working time, optional school visit consultations, and play time, the afternoon of October 27th will be a children’s book festival so we can celebrate our books and each other out in the community!
Tell me more! What is the Acadia Retreat?
The Acadia Retreat is open to traditionally published authors and illustrators, whether you are celebrating your debut or your 100th book! The goal of the retreat is to play, flex creative muscles, restore, connect with ourselves, each other, and the natural world around us. There will be campfire. There will be lobster. There will be hikes, deep salty-ocean-breeze breaths, creative time, and a brand new festival celebrating you and your books! You’ll come away refreshed and inspired!
