Thank you for hosting this trick-or-treat! I love hearing from all of the guests and learning from their experiences. I shared every day on X. I'm not a super spooky loving person, so I would love to win a critique, but would be happy with anything! Thanks again for hosting!
When I started to commit time to write a children's book last year, Trick-or-treating with #SeasonsofKidLit was the first community I engaged with. It's been fun to see how I've grown over the year and to really appreciate the advice, tips, and treats the authors this year have offered. I loved all the books shared but am particularly interested in "Gwei the Hungry Ghost". All the posts have been shared on Bluesky. Thank you!
Thank you so much for hosting!! I commented/liked/shared all on Bluesky. I would love a critique or RYS speed pass!!
Thank you for all the wonderful posts! I commented on all of them and shared them all on X :)
I would love a critique on a current manuscript I am working on. But if not, I honestly will be happy with whatever I win. Thanks again for hosting :)
Thank you for organizing the event! I shared each post on bluesky.
