New Picture Book Critique Service From Brenda Reeves Sturgis

Blog & website of children's book author Tara Lazar New Picture Book Critique Service from Brenda Reeves  Sturgis Want a great piece of writing advice? As a new writer, surround   yourself with more experienced professionals. You’ll grow and learn far more quickly than if you remain in a critique group comprised of writers on your level. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to find an experienced critique group. However, paid critiques are one way to gain access to knowledgeable professionals and speed-up your learning curve. You can receive paid critiques at SCBWI conferences and through independent editors, and once in a while critiques go up for auction to benefit good causes. But these critiques, while thorough and worth every penny, can sometimes cost a lot of pennies. I met award-winning author Brenda Reeves Sturgis at the 2008 Rutgers One-on-One Plus Conference and we had instant chemistry. Easy-going, lovely, and full of fun, Brenda possesses a great personality and a penchant for picture books. Her debut TEN TURKEYS IN THE ROAD releases fall 2011 with Marshall Cavendish, and her poetry appears in the SWEET DREAMS anthology later this year from Blooming Tree Press. And guess what? OK, you’ve guessed it, she has begun a new critique service for picture book writers (and for not that many pennies). Heyâ€"did you noticeâ€"critique service, Reeves Sturgis. That rhymes! Well, kind of. Maybe just a little? Huh? But believe me, her critiques are far better than my rhymes. Check out her testimonials!
