SCBWI Canada East encourages members throughout our extensive

sending a message to the list!
Ottawa
Schmooze
On July 22, 2011, Ottawa-area writers and illustrators
gathered for SCBWI Canada East's first Ottawa Schmooze.
The venue was the Vietnam Palace on Somerset Street, and
the program included lunch (delicious!) and conversation
with colleagues and friends. The group shared a little
show and tell (mostly tell), and compiled a list of favourite
influential kidlit blogs and recent reads. (Email Web
