Canada’s best conference on the craft and business of writing and illustrating for children — Packaging Your Imagination — is on Saturday, November 19.  Registration is now open.

This year’s new location for PYI 2016 is the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at Victoria and Shuter. It’s in downtown Toronto, close to hotels, theatres, concert halls, restaurants, shopping and more. And convenient to transit — a short walk from Queen or Dundas subway stations — plus lots of nearby parking.

Here’s a snippet of what’s in store at PYI 2016.

• Two keynotes: Ashley Spires and David Booth
• Choose from a dozen sessions, including three Master Classes and our popular panel of publishers and agents
• Session presenters include Helaine Becker, Anne Carter, Shane Peacock, Sydney Smith, Kathy Stinson
• One-to-One evaluation of your manuscript, illustration portfolio or author website/social media (additional fee)
