Children’s Writers’ Conference in Toronto - Packaging Your Imagination

Packaging Your Imagination is an annual one-day conference in Toronto for children’s writers, put on by CANSCAIP–the Canadian Society of Children’s Authors, Illustrators, and Performers. Each year, there are workshops for children’s writers at all stages, as well as for illustrators and performers, conducted by professionals successful in their fields. Attendees can choose three workshops to attend, and everyone can attend the keynote address by award-winning author/illustrator Marie-Louise Gay.

This year there are many great speakers, including Kit Pearson, Julie Lawson, Kathy Stinson, Ted Staunton, and more.

The conference will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2008, and is $135, which includes three sessions, morning coffee, lunch and the keynote address. It usually sells out pretty quickly, so if you want to attend you may want to sign up soon.
