A Banner Year

  Recently I was blessed to receive
  an honorable mention in the KidLit411 banner illustration contest.
​
    So first, a big fat thank-you to contest organizers ( and KidLit411 founders)
   Elaine Kiely Kearns  and Sylvia Liu. 

    Next, congrats to fab first and second place winners Hui Li
    and Rachel Dutton.  (Love their work!)
​
            By the way, if you've been in the woods for a while
   and haven't heard of  KidLit411, be sure and check it out. 
     They offer some really useful stuff for writers and illustrators, such as... 
                -new agent news
                -giveaways
                -submissions       
​                 and daily writing tips, to name a few.                                

               (Also check out their Facebook page.) 
                     
​     Each of the eight honorable mentions will be interviewed,
     and their banners displayed on a monthly rotation.

     Such an honor! My head's still spinning.
           Here's a snippet from my banner...                                    

This little dude is as shocked as I am;)

                                              Thanks again  KidLit411!!!
