Posted byauthorlaurablogPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

My life has been wonderfully busy the past week and I’m sorry I didn’t get to write this and share it earlier, but it’s still Monday so cheers to that! One thing I can say about the writing community, especially those who write picture books – young adult, they are a generous and supportive group. Today I am proud to announce two winners of critiques from amazing authors.

Congratulations to Lisa Billa winner of a picture book critique from Kira Bigwood, author of SECRET, SECRET AGENT GUY illustrated by Celia Krampien.

Congratulations to Laurel Santini winner of a picture book critique from Katie Frawley, author of TABITHA AND FRITZ TRADE PLACES illustrated by Laurie Stansfield.

Winners, please email me at ljrwritenow at Gmail so that I can connect you with the authors. Don’t forget there are still amazing book giveaways and interviews with Elizabeth Gilbert Bedia, Candice Marley Conner, and Michelle Vattula.

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
