Hi Everyone!
I know I signed off and wished you all well for the holidays and new year, saying we’d pick up on January 4th.
But I got wind of a contest I thought you’d all like to know about: Writing With The Stars!
Writing with the Stars is a new picture book contest where writers and illustrators apply to win a mentorship from published authors and illustrators. The mentors will evaluate the applications and pick a winner to work with for three months. The contest is open to unpublished and un-agented picture book writers and illustrators. All the details can be found at http://beckytarabooks.com/contest/
Doesn’t that sound amazing?! And you could win a mentorship with Lori Richmond, Andrea Zuill, Camille Andros, DJ Steinberg, Stacy McAnulty, Peter McCleery, Beth Ferry, Penny Parker Klostermann, Paul Czajak, Laura Gehl, Katy Duffield, and many more!
Such an incredible opportunity!
Please share with anyone you know who might be interested!
Full details are at this link: http://beckytarabooks.com/contest/
Consider it a little holiday gift to you! 🙂 Good luck!!! and may the force be with you! (er, why yes I went to see Rogue One yesterday… how could you tell?! 🙂 )
