Picture Books, with Christina Pulles

July 16th, 2018 - August 7th, 2018

with Brooke McIntyre

Group started
Preparing your picture book manuscript for submission? Get your manuscript critiqued by Christina Pulles, Senior Editor with Sterling. You'll also meet other serious kidlit writers, sharpen your eye by giving feedback and receive the benefits of workshopping with a group - like meeting other writers, and learning by exchanging feedback. How it works: Submit your manuscript to the group when the group officially kicks off on July 16th. Then, group members have 2 weeks to exchange feedback on one another's work. Christina will post her critiques towards the end of that time. After critiques are complete, we will have a debrief call where each writer gets individual time with Christina to address key feedback themes and discuss both manuscript and writing questions.

Christina Pulles and Inked Voices are pleased to offer a spot, free of charge, to a writer from a diverse background. Apply:https://inkedvoices.typeform.com/to/Usrpae

About Brooke McIntyre

Christina Pulles joined Sterling Children’s Books in June 2015, and before that worked at Simon & Schuster’s Simon Spotlight imprint. She acquires everything from clever, narrative picture books, to picture book biographies, to realistic, friendship-based middle. She's open to a fantastic bent to a story, but wouldn’t be the right editor for high fantasy or science fiction, and isn’t looking for YA fiction.
