We’re ecstatic to have 18 super generous prize donors!!!
There are…
2 agents offering manuscript/query critiques
2 wonderful courses/webinars offered by their highly established creators
14 authors, illustrators, and author-illustrators offering manuscript and/or dummy critiques for picture books and middle grade novels
.
Do you want to know who these amazing prize donors are?
Fantastic!
Make sure to subscribe to this blog because each week we’ll be revealing the prize donors in our Prize Donor Feature series!
How can YOU win one of the 18 wonderful prizes listed above?
Enter into the Spring Fling Kidlit Contest of course!
The basics:
If you want to enter in the Author category, find a spring-themed gif, and in 150 words or less write a full story (beg, mid, end) the appeals to kids 12 and under, and post it on Ciara’s blog between April 7th and 9th 2020.
If you want to enter in the Author-Illustrator category, create your own spring-themed gif, and in 150 words or less write a full story (beg, mid, end) the appeals to kids 12 and under, and post it on Ciara’s blog between April 7th and 9th 2020.

Thanks Kaitlyn and Claire. It sounds great!
I believe, since I received this email, that I’m already registered for the Spring Fling? And should the entry be math-relayed or is any general topic welcome?

Great questions! If you got the email you are in fact subscribed–yay and thank you! The submission page will be on Ciara’s blog so make sure to subscribe to that, or mark you calendar to go there between April 7th and 9th to post your entry. The only theme you need is spring. Math is always cool, but definitely not a necessity for the contest 🙂

That is one heck of a lead-in gif!!! Wish they were all my son’s math teachers.

This looks like great fun! My birthday is on the first day of spring. Does this mean that, no matter my age, I’ll always be a “Spring Chicken”?
