Children’s Writers and Illustrators Group AGM and online social
11 November @ 17:30 - 19:00 GMT
Join the Children’s Writers and Illustrators Group (CWIG) for their 2025 annual general meeting, followed by an online social.
This is a chance to meet the Committee informally, and to hang out and chat with other CWIG members.
We’re here to represent you and we’d love to hear your concerns and views on all aspects of children’s books: earnings, school visits, the creative process, agents, networking, anything you like. Or just come along to meet people and talk about your current project.
The CWIG AGM takes place from 17.30-18.00, followed by the online social from 18.00-19.00.
This event is for SoA Members. Not a member? sign up here with our special #SoAatHome offer and get 20% off for the first year using the offer code: SOAATHOME20.
