Regional Conferences


Southern Breeze hosts two major conferences every year - Springmingle, in February or March, and the fall conference, "Writing and Illustrating for Kids," the third Saturday in October. Each offers authors and illustrators a chance to meet editors, agents, published authors, and other children's book professionals, as well as the opportunity to network with fellow creators in their region.

In addition, Southern Breeze hosts a number of smaller "schmoozes," manuscript critiques, and writing workshops. Watch this space for event announcements and registration information.
