When learning a new computer programming language, the first program you usually write is one that displays the words “Hello World!” Those are the perfect words to launch this new blog for the International Central Region of SCBWI. The ICR is a virtual region of SCBWI members living in places where there is not an active local chapter. Our members live in more than 65 countries around the world, and as part of my responsibilities as SCBWI’s Assistant International Advisor (Outreach), I serve as the Regional Advisor for the ICR. In addition to our new regular newsletters, I wanted to offer a blog as an additional resource to our members, and as a place where we can celebrate the successes of ICR members. My thanks to Sandra Yoong-Chia, who has volunteered to serve as editor for our regional blog. If you have a children’s book coming out, anywhere in the world, and would like to featured on the blog, please email Sandra and she will be in touch with interview questions. In addition to interviews with members, Sandra will post useful tips, inspiring prompts, and links to resources to help you develop your writing or illustration skills. This month, you’re getting two posts - this one to launch our blog, and our first regular post - an interview with ICR member Charlotte Sullivan Wild. Look for new posts every month. Wishing everyone a creative day! Elisabeth Norton Assistant International Advisor (Outreach) and Regional Advisor (International Central Region)
