Mark your calendars! Save the date! Register now! An exciting even is coming up in February. SCBWI is hosting an illustrator's conference. This year we have art director Martha Rago of Harper Collins coming as a guest speaker. Also, the husband and wife writer/illustrator team Mark and Caralyn Buehner will be presenting.

Okay, so I have to put a plug in for the Illustrator's Intensive with Martha Rago. When you sign up for this you will get to work with Martha as if you were doing a project for a big publisher (She'll give the assignment one month before the conference and work with her all month). Then, at the conference there will be a work shop for those that did the Intensive.

This is a great opportunity to see what its like to do a job for a big time New York art director. Plus, it doesn't her to have her get to know you on a personal level, just saying. You'll have to hurry to sign up for this one. Only the first 25 people will get to do the Intensive.
