Important reminders

If you are published under a pseudonym, please provide that information to SCBWI when you join, or update your membership information to include your pseudonym. It makes it much easier for we here in SCBWI-MI to identify you and link you with your books.

The SCBWI International website: Monthly contests, chat boards, opportunities, connections.... If you aren't making full use of it, perhaps you should. http://www.scbwi.org/

Our chapter's listserv (cyber community), "MichKids," is served by Yahoo Groups, so if you are already a subscriber to other yahoo lists and already have a password, you can quickly access your subscription information for MichKids and select digest, no mail, change your email address, etc. all online. If you are a subscriber to MichKids but don't yet have a password, apply for a one today at http://www.yahoogroups.com/. Remember, enrollment is free! MichKids is a SCBWI-MI members-only 2-way email list; when your membership is confirmed, you will be added.

Has your email, area or zip code changed? Members, update your information by accessing it online at http://www.scbwi.org/. or notify the membership office at membership@scbwi.org and please send a copy to Regional Advisors Monica Harris (monicaharris24 AT sbcglobal DOT net) or Leslie Helakoski (lelhel AT hotmail DOT com). This will help keep you as up-to-date as possible on national and regional events. Since our chapter does not offer online updating of vital information, we must receive changes through the International office and there may be a time lag.

Attention Illustrators,
We'd like you to know about our Illustrators' Network.
