I participated in Mindy Alyse Weiss’ #pbparty this year and was announced as a finalist!
I submitted my story FOR SHENANIGANS ONLY as an author/illustrator and was one of 25 entries chosen for the illustrator’s showcase.
The event itself has been a great experience, with or without the finalist result. I was paired with 6 other authors for a ranking group, where we all read through and critiqued 6 of each other’s manuscripts. I was also lucky enough to get a critique from past 3x finalist author/illustrator Ellen Seal. I loved the stories I was privileged to read, and the ranking process, and hope to see stories I critiqued get published soon.
The showcase goes live on March 25, I will be following up with a more in-depth recap of the experience once the dust settles!
