Once again, I made it through the picture book idea challenge hosted by the awesome children's author, Tara Lazar. I created a journal of ideas for new picture books. Some are real stinkers, if I say so myself. However, there are five or six that might just work. Now it's time to get busy. Why? Because on February 23rd, Picture Book Pitch begins on Twitter.
PBPITCH is a chance for picture book authors to sell their idea to editors and agents for twelve whole hours. I've got to get ready, so now if the time to review what goes into a picture book. The essentials include a dynamic character, a story with an arc, a beginning and an end. Sounds simple huh? Well, it's not!
Writing a picture book can take months or even years. I have one that I've been working on for over two years. I'm hoping that I have honed it enough to be ready for the Pitchparty this year. This is a short post today, but if you are interested in joining the fun on the 23rd, here is the link www.pbpitch.com/
Are you a picture book author? You will never know until you try!
