Need Feedback On Your Picture Book Manuscript?

Dear Editor is giving away a free picture book edit. If you're interested, click here for her giveaway post. You have until October 10th. And if you write for children, I recommend subscribing to her feed. She isn't requiring it to enter her contest, but she answers questions, both through her posts and in e-mails. Dear Editor is one of my three favorite writing industry blogs.

Also, I saw this over at Shannon O'Donnell's blog and had to share it - so funny.

  2. I'll have to check this out. I have a long story poem I'm thinking of submitting, but I don't know the format for children's books other than multiples of 8 pages or some such thing.

  5. Thanks for the heads up, Myrna. I'm planning on entering if the website will ever accept my form. It keeps coming up with errors -- yesterday and today! I guess I'll keep trying. If anyone else is having problems, let me know so I don't feel like the only idiot on the block. :)

    I guess if it never works, it wasn't meant to be. But I have subscribed now, so that's a plus. I got to meet Deborah at the SCBWI conference this last summer. Her breakout session was awesome.

  6. Amy, I remember your mentioning that you met her there. I haven't tried to submit mine yet, because I need to revise it first. I wish I had one of those time turners, like the one Hermione had in the third Harry Potter book.

    Dear Editor's offer sounds so awesome that I wish I had something to send but alas... I do not.
