Canada is fortunate to have so many talented authors and illustrators making wonderful books for kids. And this year at Picture Books, Eh! we are lucky to have 32 of them sharing their 2023 picture books with us along with their valuable experiences and insights as picture book creators in this country. Both on our website and on our Twitter and Instagram pages, you'll find news on upcoming picture books by a broad range of Canadian picture book creators––including many beyond this group––as well as interviews, reflections and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the picture book making process. Oh, and giveaways! To launch us into 2023, Picture Books, Eh! is excited to offer a manuscript critique, a virtual school visit and several upcoming books! (We will do summer and fall giveaways for books published later in the year.) Our 2023 launch giveaway includes:
Books by Julian Chung Peggy Collins To enter our launch giveaway, simply: - follow @picturebookseh on Twitter and/or Instagram - like and re-tweet our launch giveaway Twitter post - extra entry for tagging a friend - Winners (chosen at random) will be announced here on our website as well as on Twitter in exactly two weeks, on Wednesday February 8th 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. Jean E. Pendziwol 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 to a diverse range of Canadian picture book creators, including creators who have been historically marginalized from children’s publishing. We are still open to new members for 2023, so if you are a Canadian picture book creator releasing a traditionally published book this year, feel free to get in touch with us!
Picture Books, Eh! also 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, if you have insights to share, we’d love to hear them. Happy reading, eh!
