In addition to NaNoWriMo, there’s a fun challenge for picture book writers in November too. PiBoIdMo stands for Picture Book Idea Month and is run by the fabulous Tara Lazar. You can sign up on her website and doing so shows your commitment to coming up with one PB-related idea each day. It can be a character, a title, a story idea, or even a few fun words you want to use in a story. There will be guest bloggers and some great prizes. :)
To encourage my picture book friends out there to join, I’m running a little contest with a great lady I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. Agent Karen Grencik of Red Fox Literary is closed to queries, but you can win a pass to query her! (It’s only the chance to query, no guarantees beyond that.) She’s currently listed as #2 in Children’s:Picture Books on Publishers Marketplace. Just saying. ;) Read her Query.Sign.Submit. interview here.
To enter, use the rafflecopter below, and be sure to check out all the ways you can earn extra entries. (Including bonus entries for signing up for PiBoIdMo!)
Contest closes Friday, November 1st at 11:59 PM.
Have fun, and may the ideas be with you. :)
