It’s time to announce the two winners of the picture book pitches for “Random Acts of Kindness for Writers.”
Thirty-seven pitches were submitted so it took me a while to get through them all. The two I’ve chosen are: Janet’s pitch for an Emily Carr story, and Eleanor’s pitch for a story about banishing bedtime fears. Congratulations to all of you who pitched. Keep working on those stories, and keep honing your pitch! The winners will be receiving an email in the next few days requesting their manuscripts for a free critique.
Franklin the turtle is a picture book character who also became a television cartoon. Now he’s a Canadian stamp too! Hurray Franklin, and hurray to Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark, his creators.
