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

12 x 12 September 2022 Check-In!

Goodness, it can’t be October already, can it? The good news is, we still have one quarter left of the year to get those drafts and revisions done in 2022! I did not write a new draft in September, but I did a lot of revision, AND I have a solid idea for a new draft in October. What about you?

Tell us YOUR progress. Did you complete a draft and/or revision in September? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and in the comments. September Featured Author Valerie Bolling is offering one lucky 12 x 12 member a choice of a copy of TOGETHER WE RIDE or a 15-minute ask-me-anything chat! Thank you, Valerie!

Here’s what you need to do to check in for a chance to win:

  1. See the Rafflecopter widget at the end of this post.
  2. Click on the “Comment on Valerie’s post” button. Commenting on Valerie’s post is mandatory for this giveaway and you can enter the Rafflecopter even if you didn’t write a draft this month. Click ENTER.
  3. If you haven’t commented on Valerie’s post yet, go to the post here to comment. Then come back to this post to enter the Rafflecopter.  (Commenting won’t enter you in the drawing automatically, you must enter the Rafflecopter by following step 2.)
  4. Click on the “Wrote a PB Draft” button. This will ask if you completed a PB draft in September. If you did, click ENTER, if not, click cancel and move on to the next step.
  5. Click on the last “Revised a PB Draft” button. This will ask if you revised a PB in September.  If you did, click ENTER. If not, click cancel.
  6. That’s it! There is no overall submit button or email confirmation. Rafflecopter will track your points. (The top of the Rafflecopter will say X/3 with X being the number of entries you currently have in the drawing.)

Here’s a video tutorial on the forum to walk you through these steps as well. Click here for the monthly check-in tutorial.

You have until midnight Eastern on October 5th to enter your results. Rafflecopter will draw a winner and it will be announced on the blog on October 6th.

  1. Hi Valerie. I am interested if there were any of Nadia’s marketing strategies that you haven’t tried already? I loved the presentation. You are sweet to offer an author consult. Good luck with your current writing.
