Congratulations to the 198 participants who completed the 30-ideas-in-30-days challenge! I hope the inspirational exercise you started this November will continue through December and creep into the new year. (Hmm…creeping into the New Year. Did I just get another idea?)
Three lucky grand prize winners will receive feedback from picture book agents. Each winner is encouraged to write a 30-second pitch for their five best ideas, which you will email to your assigned agent no later than December 6th. Winners, please await an email from me with further instructions. If you do not receive an email from me by the end of today, please contact me.
So without further ado…
Congratulations, Jeanne Balsam!
You’ve been paired with Ammi-Joan Paquette of Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
Hooray for Diandra Mae!
You’ve been paired with Kelly Sonnack of Andrea Brown Literary Agency, Inc.
Squee, Dana Carey!
You’ve been paired with Joanna Volpe of Nancy Coffey Literary & Media Representation.
If you didn’t win one of the grand prizes, don’t worry! There are more winners to be announced. Coming up next, winners of the manuscript critiques in a separate post.

Congratulations to our three winners. I wish you the best.
