SCBWI IS ON THE UP! This is a landmark year for SCBWI British Isles - not only is it our tenth anniversary but many of our members are breaking through with book deals, agent signings, prizes and good news all around! We are going to celebrate!

INSPIRATION. Our author keynote is Marcus Sedgwick (left) whose novel Revolver was shortlisted for the Carnegie this year. Our illustrator keynote is Lynne Chapman (right), award-winning illustrator of over 30 titles including Class Two at the Zoo which was featured on CITV's Bookaboo. View this year's faculty

As ever there will be one-on-one reviews - authors, show your manuscripts to editors; illustrators, sign up for a portfolio review with an art director, and new this year: sign up to get professional feedback on your website! And for those who are published or about to be, we offer events that will help you survive the new realities of today's children's book market. View this year's programme

FUN and LEARNING. There will be workshops on everything from plotting to character development. And on the FRINGE there is a critique meet, an open portfolio exhibition and exciting new competitions. More on the Fringe
