To access registration, you need the password that has been emailed to members of the Alaska, Hawaii, Nebraska, Nevada, and Brazos Valley, TX regions. Only active members of these regions may register. (Meet & Pitch is a collaborative effort between these five small regions, so we can bring you exclusive opportunities to connect with industry professionals.) If you need the password, please check your email, including your spam folder. If you can’t find it, email nebraska-ra@scbwi.org.

If you would like us to read your pitch or the first 150 words of your manuscript, email them to nebraska@scbwi.org with the subject heading “Pitch for Dana Chidiac” by March 20th.

Pitches must be 50 words or less. We will choose as many as time permits.
