SCBWI Create and Critique-a-palooza Day 2—Sept 14, 2025

The Palooza is back! A two day online event where SCBWI members have the chance to have their projects assessed by publishers and agents, and hear from some of Australia’s most talented kids’ book creators and publishing professionals as they discuss the wonderful world of children’s books.

It will be fun, fascinating and a great excuse to hang out online with SCBWI friends.

Michelle Madden, Commissioning Editor for Penguin Random House Young Readers
Adam Cece, Author
Alexandra Adsett, Literary Agent, Alex Adsett Literary
Peter Cheong, Author and Illustrator

These presentations will be recorded and the link will be available for two weeks.
