About the January Monthly Meeting
Join us for an energizing goal-setting workshop designed to help writers and illustrators clarify their vision, set achievable milestones, and build momentum for 2026. To set you up for success this year, we’re offering headshots for $15 each (complimentary for the first 25 people who register! Make sure to select a headshot during registration!). Come for the inspiration, stay for the community, and step into the new year with focus and confidence.

This event will be led by your SCBWI Austin Regional Team Anna Alsup, Nataly Allimonos, and Tiffany Shih!

Headshots will be taken either in the third floor room or outside in the nature area outside the store. You CANNOT use the inside store as a headshot area. These will take place after goal setting, starting around 10:30AM.
