New here. Looking to meet fellow kid lit writers
Hello, Leslie,
We never met, yet. I just signed up for SCBWI Critique Fest. After I signed up, I discovered you are interested in MG.
I understand you consider some picture books. Are you are willing to critique a manuscript of mine as a special exception in the Critique Fest?

Rocket J. Squirrel taught me they could fly. I never knew squirrels could read. I see they all enjoy a classic Narwhal story :-)

Challenged to post the first 60-70 words, I had to go back to my manuscript and cull out words that did not clearly paint a picture of the character's image or state of mind. Also I needed to establish the setting in the shortest way possible.

I met the PBParty challenge, entered, and learning patience, waiting. ;-)
