Calling picture book writers! Upcoming contests and events...

Hey all you writers, I want to tell you about another fun contest coming up on March 2nd run by Vivian Kirkfield. Think you can write a book for kids in 50 words or less? Sounds easy right? Well just try it and see how hard it actually can be! These little challenges are just pure fun for me and I hope you will join me in giving it a try. You have a couple weeks to think of the perfect story. All the rules for the contest can be found here: https://viviankirkfield.com/2019/02/08/perfect-picture-book-friday-pippas-passover-plate-and-a-peek-at-the-50preciouswords-contest/

I also just discovered something called Writeoncon. It's the cheapest (yet still high quality) online writing conference for kidlit writers I've seen yet. The 2019 conference just passed, but you can still buy the content for another month. I went ahead and did it - for 15 bucks? Why not!

One more thing to make picture book writers aware of, if you don't know about it already, there are various pitch parties on Twitter. #PBpitch is specifically for picture book writers and it's coming up in just a few days (February 21st) so look it up, see what it's about (Psst. It's a short cut for getting agents to notice your picture book pitches), and participate!

Lots of fun writing events going on this month, hope to see you there!

P.S. Yay for finishing this year's Storystorm! 
 

More soon.
