The winner that year went on to sign with my wonderful agent, Essie White, and the story that won, LITTLE TIGER, is now part of a beautiful board book series by award-winning author Julie Abery. ![]() When I first got the idea for this contest back in 2016, I thought a few of my friends might take pity on me and submit a story – to my surprise, there were 128 entries. And as much as I am thrilled with my own success, nothing makes me happier than to hear about the success of others in our kidlit community.

One of the most important things I did was to participate in writing challenges like Julie Hedlund’s 12×12 and all of Susanna Hill’s contests. ![]() So, I’d like to share a bit about the back story of this contest. ![]() Some of you have been participating since the beginning. ![]() Hurray! It’s almost time for the #50PreciousWords 2023 International Writing Contest. ![]()
