I've donated a critique for #PBParty. It's one of my favorite events all year. Picture book writers, check it out!
The 2026 #PBParty contest has 39 participating agents/editors so far. Wahoooo!
It's only been a few days since e-mailing editors & a bit longer for agents, so I'm hoping we'll have tons more yeses by the showcase.
Enter to win one of over 45 critiques!

Happy book birthday The Princess and the Grain of Rice! A Korean twist on The Princess and the Pea. 🍚
Currently reading (and loving!) ONE DROP by Kaitlin Sikes and Mel Cerri. With bright illustrations and zippy text, this water cycle journey is a refreshing NF splash! 💦
Another beautiful book by @TinaMCho and Marta Alvarez Miguens! I love this series. 🪸
ALT Cover of God's Little Oceanographer by Tina Cho features a child swimming in the ocean with a dolphin, squid, whale shark, coral, and more.
All the critique groups have been sent out from my latest critique match. 207 writers found partners for their writing journey! ✨🎉📚
Critique group matches start going out tomorrow, starting with YA groups. The picture book groups may take me a few more days. (There a lot of you!)
