Thank you subscribers!!!

Thank you to everyone who has shared our

posts and recommended us to their peers!!!

To celebrate we thought we’d do something a little fun—a contest to say thank you to the KidLit writing community who has supported us.

In the comments, we invite you to describe your current WIP in 5 emojis.

We’ll randomly pick a winner out of the TriWizard Cup to receive a critique on the first

2000 words

of their current picture book, middle-grade story, or young adult WIP by EIGHT members of The Winged Pen.

Yes, folks THAT’S A MAJOR AWARD!

Feedback from EIGHT different Winged Pen members on TWO THOUSAND WORDS of your masterpiece! Unlike our monthly 8 on Eight contest, the critique will be via email instead of on the blog.IMG_2750
