If you’re a teacher or educator — or you just want an excuse to watch authors say fascinating, intelligent things — then you’re in luck! The Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI) has created a YouTube channel to showcase the footage they’ve collected over the years at their conferences:

“From the early days in the 1970s all the way up to the present, the Vault holds the advice, teachings, and musings of the biggest and brightest names in children’s publishing over the past 50 years.”
