  1. Dear Readers… I tried to use Rafflecopter and Punchtab for this giveaway but there are technical problems. I will work on that for future giveaways to streamline the process for you. For this contest, it’s email entries. Good luck!

    • Aw, you’re killin’ me, El. I had to set a limit somewhere…. I do give away critiques, so there’s that to look forward to. And I’m starting to put together Revision Week festivities for the end of April; there will surely be giveaways then.

  4. I’m new to all this (but a SCBWI member) and have a picture book ms. Are you accepting from unpublished writers?

    • Be sure to stop by for Revision Week at the end of next month. I’ll be giving away a critique a day, with a full ms edit on the last day.

    • Meryl, I’m afraid the deadline for entries has passed. I’ll be giving away critiques and a full edit during Revision Week at the end of April, so you’ve got other chances just around the corner.
