ReplyDeleteSome good contests for pitches and manuscripts right now.
I saw this and am shouting out about this too on Monday on my blog, though now with all the rules like you. This sounds like a fantastic opportunity.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome contest! Glad you surfaced on your blog again, Lenny. So happy to see you!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great contest!! I hadn't realized Sharon was now an intern too - that's awesome! Hope you're keeping well!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds awesome! This is a great opportunity for PB writers!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you here at your blog, Lenny! I've got a manuscript brewing that's giving me a lot of trouble. I'm gonna need a beta reader who can tell me what I need to fix! Oh, and if you have a chance, check out the character drawings one of my daughter's friends did for TED! They are on my blog.
Thanks so much for sharing about our first contest, Lenny! I'm pretty excited about getting to help Terrie with it. I hope lots of our bloggy friends get their manuscripts polished and ready to submit on Feb. 10th....and get in before the 51 submissions fill up.
ReplyDeleteHi Lenny .. sounds a great idea and you've set it out so well - everyone will be able to follow the guidelines. Love picture books but can't 'do' them .. So good luck to you .. I hope you're entering a story or two ..
ReplyDeleteCheers and have a fun weekend .. is it snowing? Happy days - Hilary
