PiBoIdMo (Picture Book Idea Month, November) 2010 is almost here! This will be my first year of participation, and I'm so stoked I'm shaking my fanny like a Schnauzer.If you are also a picture book writer, be sure to stop by Tara Lazar's blog Writing for Kids (While Raising Them) and check out her PiBoIdMo 2010 Information Section. I promise you will be flabbergasted and subsequently delighted by the list of guest bloggers and literary agents she's lined up.
To quote Tara...
"The concept is to create 30 picture book ideas in 30 days. You don’t have to write a manuscript. You don’t need potential best-seller ideas."
If that's not enough to entice you, Tara also says...
"Writers who complete the 30-ideas-in-30-days challenge will be eligible for prizes: feedback from a literary agent, original sketches by picture book illustrators, jewelry and who knows what else. (If you’d like to donate a prize to PiBoIdMo 2010, please contact me at tarawrites [at] yahoo [dot] com.)"
Tara Lazar is the author of THE MONSTORE, "opening in your town in Summer 2013 from Aladdin/Simon & Schuster".
