About
Welcome to #PBCritiqueFest 2022! Do you write or illustrate picture books? This MASSIVE one-time picture book critique giveaway celebration is for you! We have 32 picture book critiques to giveaway!
​
The purpose of this annual event is to celebrate the critique and revision process and to help build our kidlit community. It's my sincerest hope that new connections will be made and that actual, living, breathing books will be birthed out of this process.
​
The festival is happening October 21st-31st. The deadline to enter the raffle will be October 31st 8PM CST. 32 winners will be randomly selected and then "paired with their person" based on information provided on the registration form. Winners will be announced throughout the day on Saturday, November 5th on Twitter, Facebook, and on a Picture Book Spotlight blog post.
