Reblogged this on Klempner's Kosher Books and commented:
Another great opportunity out there for all of you who’ve longed to publish a picture book and keep putting it off. The contest judge is a very well respected editor in the Jewish book world.
I just posted this to my Twitter and Facebook pages. I always appreciate the many ways The Whole Megillah supports writers of Jewish themes. Thank you, Barbara!
Barb, Can you enter more than one mss? Joan
Yes, you may.
Hi Barbara,
Just wondering if you sent confirmations to all those who entered.
Hi, Holly,
In general, contests do not send confirmations. I do have your entry.
Best,
Barbara
