Do You Want to Write 12 Picture Books in 12 Months? | Learn More!

12 x 12 Registration is Now OPEN!

12 x 12 new bannerIt’s the moment I know I’ve been waiting for, and I hope you have too! 12 x 12 in 2015 is now OPEN for registration! If you write picture books, please come and join the friendliest writing community on earth. The benefits of 12 x 12 membership are ample, and you can find them all outlined here, but the BEST, GREATEST benefit is having a 24 x 7 community of of fellow writers to support, motivate, and cheer you on.

More than 300 of 2014 members have renewed already and can’t wait for you to join them. Here’s what just a few of them had to say about their experience.

Among other benefits, each month the 12 x 12 challenge features one published author who provides advice on the craft of writing picture books. Our first author of 2015 is none other than Tara Lazar, founder of Picture Book Idea Month, author of The Monstore, and THREE new picture books releasing in 2015. Here is the interview I held with Tara last week. One lucky 12 x 12 member will have the chance to win a PB critique from Tara at the end of the month. (Hint: you get points for both writing AND revising a draft each month).

Remember, registration in 12 x 12 is ONLY open in through February 28th. Otherwise, you have to wait until 2016. Don’t wait!

Hope to see you there!!

  1. Hi Kelli,

    Seems all is good and the payment info I sent worked out. I tried to register but said my name was already in use. Not sure if that was the old forum or new. Is there a link I can use for 2015?

    Thanks,

    Keila
