Below are several important announcements from SCBWI San Diego Chapter as they
begin the 2013-14 Season:
FIRST, The September meeting will be held THIS
Saturday, Sept. 7 from 2- 4 pm at the Hahn School of
Nursing (USD), Room 106. (map) Please note this location has been confirmed but is
subject to change, so please look for the signs on Saturday to get you to the
correct place.
Playwright and set designer Mike Buckley and
children's author Patricia Morris Buckley will discuss how to bring together
dialogue, character and setting to create scenes that absorb the reader and make
a story something memorable long after the last page is read. Saturday's
discussion will include, scene vs. narration; a 'must' list for characters;
setting do's and dont's; and a chance to practice combining all three elements
for greatest effect. You don't want to miss this.
SECOND, Each September, we update our
records so we are able to get you info about chapter events and
programs and to gather info that helps us plan for the chapter. This year we've
created an online form to make the process quick and easy. Please paste the
following link into your browser to access the online form:
If you can complete the form prior to the meeting -
that will certainly speed things up so we don't waste any of our time with Mike
and Patricia.
THIRD, Season Tickets will be available
at the meeting for $50 for SCBWI members and $70 for nonmembers. Season Tickets
include the cost of monthly chapter meetings, discounts on the Spring conference
and other chapter events, and a free pass to a chapter meeting for a friend, for
a total savings of over $30 over the course of the year.
FOURTH, Critique groups will meet at
the Hahn School of Nursing at noon prior to the chapter meeting. Please email
Gigi for MG/YA at critique@sandiego-scbwi.org, Karen
for PB/Chapter books and Nonfiction at critiquePB@sandiego-scbwi.org, or Katrin for Illustrators at draw@sandiego-scbwi.org to RSVP so
they can plan ahead. Thanks.
FIFTH, We could use some help rearranging tables to
accommodate everyone at the Hahn School of Nursing, so if you can arrive at 1:30
to help move chairs it would be appreciated and help you get a jump on
registration as well.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
