What do you mean November is over? Emma Walton Hamilton and I have been so hard at work updating the Complete Picture Book Submissions System website and course that I didn’t even notice the end of the month come and go. (You can see the beautiful new site here and sign up for our new video series here!) While it’s been super exciting to see the updates come to life, it does mean I didn’t write a new draft this month. But, December is a new month, so forward we march! 

What about you? Did you complete a draft and/or revision in November? Did you post a review of a 12 x 12 member book on Amazon, GoodReads, or Barnes and Noble? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and the comments.

November Featured Author Costantia Manoli is offering one lucky 12 x 12 member a a copy of TOMATOES IN MY LUNCHBOX!
