This activity is open to members and non-members, to published and unpublished children's writers & illustrators, and anyone who has a keen interest in children's literature. All you have to do is bring any children's or young adult book that you want to share, discuss, ask questions about, or use as a springboard for discussion. Or, bring your work in progress for a children's book - either a manuscript or artwork - and ask for a group critique.

We collect an attendance fee of P80 for members and P100 for non-members, which mostly goes to ordering a hot or cold drink for you during the meeting.
