Hugs and Hurrahs

I hope everyone is enjoying these last weeks of summer. This quarter's Hugs and Hurrahs is short and—just like all the peaches and corn at the markets here in West Michigan—extra sweet!


Two of the farm critter tale manuscripts Kathleen Clark submitted to the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) Kingdom KitLit Contest won Honorable Mention in the Unpublished BoardBook/Picture Books category.  She is truly thankful for this encouragement on her writer’s journey. 

Congratulations, Kathleen!


Lynn Baldwin is happy to announce she is now represented by by Jen Newens of Martin Literary for her picture book writing. 


Way to go, Lynn!


Lisa Healy has been chosen by author Erin Dealey, to be her 2024 PBRisingStars Mentee! PB Rising Stars had over 2,400 applicants, Erin was wowed by Lisa’s lyrical language.



We're so happy for you, Lisa!




Congratulations, Kathleen, Lynn, and Lisa!  We are proud of, and inspired by, you!

 

Look for the next request for Hugs and Hurrahs in your email, but please feel free to submit all your KidLit publishing news to Alison Hodgson at aewhodgson@gmail.com in the meantime.
