Local Writers and Illustrators Gather Together

The Writers and Illustrators Meet & Greet held in The Savings Bank’s Community Room on Monday, April 3rd drew another healthy batch of writers and illustrators. The Room to Write is grateful for the support of the many talented individuals in attendance as well as to The Savings Bank and to SCBWI for supporting these outreach efforts. To get the creativity flowing we included a simple writing exercise during this meet and greet where each participant took a few minutes to free-write with a humble fruit or vegetable as their inspiration. It is amazing how ordinary objects can be seen for the first time and transformed by our imaginations.

This event was sponsored by The Room to Write with encouragement from the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and was held in meeting space generously provided by The Savings Bank.
