Expression OnLine is the SCBWI international online newsletter, available for free to all current members of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) anywhere in the world. It includes news and short feature items about children's books, the industry in general as it is practiced in different parts of the world, and the people involved - writers, illustrators, book designers, publishers, editors, booksellers, librarians, teachers, parents, educators, and more. There's a regular section announcing good news about SCBWI members wherever they are, and notices and reports about selected SCBWI events worldwide.

There's also a calendar of other children's book-related news and events that might be of interest to SCBWI members - from Tirana, Albania to Wahroonga, NSW Australia. From Brussels, Belgium to Smith's Parish, Bermuda. From Russe, Bulgaria to Phnon Penh, Cambodia. From Belo Horizonte, Brazil to Mississauga, Canada. From Beckenham, UK to Quimperle, France to Cavite City, Philippines to Gipuzkoa, Spain to Los Angeles, California and many, many more places where SCBWI members live and work.
