2022 Kidlit Palooza!

Schedule + Program
The 2022 KidLit Palooza is THE PREMIERE and most directly helpful online career camp/conference/lovefest that you'll ever attend providing education and connections into the craft and business of making, selling, and publishing quality children's books. Connect with editors, publishers, and award winning authors and illustrators, and each other!
This event has it all when it comes to KidLit.
And, as an added bonus, the event is a Scholarship Fundraiser! This helps us raise funds for folks who identify as low-income, BIPOC, Jewish, Muslim, having a disability, or being LGBTQ+ to receive scholarships and opportunities in our intensive interactive courses.
Each of these programs comes with worksheets and/or handouts and is designed by experts to literally help you succeed in the children's book publishing world through learning and hands-on-activities.
Each panel will also feature at least one prize or giveaway to make it even more exciting!
