#PBandkidJudges #kidlit writing competition update🎉
Kids are voting on the top 7 entries Monday-Thursday. I hope to have the results up on Friday before the school day starts. Fri is also our Field Day, so I will be away from the computer, but will send and reply to emails ASAP. (Art by Aubrey 4th)
This was such a fun one to submit to. It’s not often you get your writing in front of your intended audience before publish. So grateful to be participating in the inaugural year of the #PBandkidJudges writing event, wonderfully hosted by @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social Truly a unique opportunity!
The top 25 #PBandkidJudges stories have been selected (but not announced). We should have a top 3 and 22 honorable mentions by May 9th. Results will be posted after all voting ends. The top 3 will get to choose their prize. HMs will be awarded prizes at random. #kidlit #PB
I have a team of teachers, librarians, and parents scoring the #PBandkidJudges stories to narrow it down to the top 25 before the kids vote. One of them texted me this today! #kidlit #writingcommunity #pb
What a grand idea! Kid Judges!
Thanks to @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social for bringing kid judges together to read and choose their favorite (almost) picture books. I couldn't resist submitting my manuscript to this elite group of experts.

#PBandkidJudges has 100+ entries from the #kidlit #writingcommunity!
Thank you for the support and interest in this event. I hope to announce results in 3-4 weeks.

Thrilled to be participating in the first #PBandKidJudges contest, hosted by @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social . Students in 3rd and 4th grade will be judging picture books written by adult authors. So much fun! Thanks to Kellie and her students! (And the artwork is top notch. 👍)

I’m participating in #PBandKidJudges contest. I love that @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social has a critique club at her school—this is such a great idea (something my former students would have loved). I’m excited to submit a story directly to the demographic it’s intended for. 😊

I'm excited to participate in this BRAND NEW writing event judged by kids! #PBandkidJudges A huge thanks to @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social for organizing and to all of the generous judges and donators! The #kidlit community is incredible! 📚✏️🎉. My story in emojis: 🐶💋👨👩👧👦🏃♂️⚡
Great idea for a contest. We write stories for kids, after all. That mine contains Peanut Butter & Jelly in a vital role is pure coincidence and not an attempt to pander to the judges lol.
