Canada is lucky to have so many talented authors and illustrators making quality books for kids. And here at Picture Books, Eh! we are lucky to have 22 of them who have signed on to share not only their 2022 picture books but also their experiences and insights. Both on our website and on our Twitter and Instagram pages, you'll find interviews, reflections and behind-the-scenes glimpses by Canadian picture book creators as well as news on upcoming picture books by a broad range of Canadian picture book makers. Oh, and also giveaways! To launch us into 2022, Picture Books, Eh! is excited to offer two manuscript critiques––something many of us have benefited from tremendously over the years––and a whole bunch of books. Our 2022 launch giveaway includes:
* = Canada addresses only. Otherwise Canada and US addresses only. Whew! What a list! And that's just for the launch! Stay tuned for more giveaways as we approach the book birthdays of other 2022 picture books. To enter our launch giveaway, simply: - follow @picturebookseh on Twitter and/or Instagram - like and re-tweet our launch giveaway Twitter post and/or like and re-post our launch giveaway Instagram post - Winners (chosen at random) will be announced here on our website as well as on Twitter and Instagram in exactly two weeks, on Friday February 4 at 9 am EST Critique details: If you win the critique giveaway, you will be invited to submit a picture book manuscript of up to a thousand words, with up to two questions about your manuscript. Loretta Garbutt or Karen Krossing will then give you one-time editorial feedback focused on your questions. The edits will be done in a Word Document and will be returned to you within six weeks, with both comments alongside the text and suggested edits within the text (using Track Changes). Picture Books, Eh! is glad to be able to offer a platform for Canadian picture book creators of diverse backgrounds, including creators who have been historically marginalized from children’s publishing, to share their voices. We are still open to new members for 2022, so if you are a Canadian picture book creator releasing a traditionally published book this year, feel free to get in touch with us!
Even once the group is filled up for 2022, Picture Books, Eh! welcomes any Canadian picture book creator to get in touch about writing a guest post for our blog or Instagram page. Whether you are publishing this year or not, traditionally published or self-published, and even if you are simply working towards publication one day, if you have insights to share, we’d love to hear them. Happy reading in the year ahead, eh! Picture Books, Eh! 2022 Comments are closed.
