    Answer:

The Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (scbwi.org) is an organization of professionals and aspiring writers and illustrators.  In addition to the resources on their web site, SCBWI offers

  • Two annual conferences with programming ranging from perfecting your craft to navigating the business side of the profession,
  • Regional conferences,
  • Professional critiques of work,
  • Networking opportunities with other writers and illustrators,
  • Thoroughly researched reports on publisher's willingness to consider manuscripts of specific types (picture books, chapter books, educational, etc.),
  • Local groups for networking and critiques.

It's a great place for the novice to start and for professionals to stay in touch with industry trends and happenings.
