Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators Malaysia
I will be attending the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators Malaysia conference on the 20th November 2009 at Lim Kok Wing and would like to invite those in the related field to join in.
Took this information from Linda’s blog with permission:
SCBWI Malaysia is a not-for-profit organization set up to develop local writers and illustrators and to bring together writers, illustrators, publishers, booksellers, educators and others for positive and mutually beneficial communications and interactions.
With the kind sponsorship of Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing, SCWBI Malaysia is pleased to invite you to participate in a one-day conference as follows:
Date : Fri, 20 November 2009

In conjunction with this conference, there will be an illustrators’ exhibition, book sales and a series of talks and panel discussions.

From 2.00pm onwards, there will be a series of interesting talks and panel discussions on the relevant topics including the use of illustrations in Malaysian children’s literature; addressing multiculturalism issues in children’s literature; preparing children’s picture books – the experience of an award-winning children’s book author and illustrator; and others.
