If you are a picture book writer, and you are not a subscriber to Julie Hedlund’s, Write up my Life blog - http://writeupmylife.com – I recommend that you pop over and check out her posts. This year Julie features some wonderful guests in the picture book writing world who are more than happy to share some wonderful tips and information.
Today’s guest is Tamson Weston -http://tamsonweston.com
Tamson provides invaluable information on what makes a good pitch, what doesn’t, how important the pitch is in terms of introducing your manuscripts, and whether or not a bad pitch can be overcome by a fantastic idea.
Winners for Tamson Weston’s Pitch contest are also announced. Great tips given.

Glad you ended up finding the site, Rebecca. I will fix the links when I return home next week.
Links now fixed. Helen
