Writers, especially those of us who are just starting down the road to build a publishing career, can easily be overwhelmed by the amount of writing blogs offering the latest, greatest path to publication. I know because I think I have read most of them. So when I found a site dedicated to children's writers, illustrators, and the books they write, I had to share.

Many of you probably already know about KIDLIT 411, and if you do--shame, shame, shame for not telling me about it.

KIDLIT 411 is a writer's supermarket. It offers articles, tips, links, spotlights on authors, illustrators, and agents, information on contests and awards, and resources, resources, and even more resources. 

While I could go on and on, the reason I am writing this blog is to alert all the aspiring Picture Book or Middle Grade authors to a wonderful interview with Rodeen Literary Management's Lori Kilkelly. Lori discusses what she looks for in a manuscript or a picture book, but the exciting part--not that it isn't exciting to meet an agent who is passionate about children's literature--is that she is offering a chance for your query on your PB or MG book to move out of the slush pile. 

There, I said it, and yes, I am entering! 

Here's the catch--your manuscript must be completely finished, and you need to enter at the KIDLIT 411 website. BUT YOU ONLY HAVE 4 MORE DAYS! So get with it. Here is the linkhttp://www.kidlit411.com/2014/07/Kidlit411-Agent-Spotlight-Lori-Kilkelly.html

P.S. While you are there sign up for KIDLIT 411's weekly email updates. You will not be disappointed.
