Before a writer decides to join a critique group, they should be serious about how committed they are to their writing career. Being a good critique group member takes time and effort.
Not only will the writer be learning things for their growth as a writer but others will be counting on them for detailed positive critiques that will foster their skills as a writer. So be on time and “give a good critique.”
I am an aspiring picturebook writer with some magazine credits just no picture book contract yet. I know it is coming and I am more than willing to work for it.

I love the children's movies Wizard of Oz and the Neverending Story. Both movies make me feel the lesson that hope is alive and well. After seeing UP this past week, it just might have a chance at being added to this list.
I love the cool colors of blues and purples.Those colors are peaceful for me.
I love The Velveteen Rabbit. Even as an adult, I still feel the urge to cry when he becomes real. I know, silly, but a good book can make me laugh and cry as it takes me on a magical journey.

Hi Peg,
I got your contact infor via Writer’s Retreat at ICL. You have a great blog site!!
Perhaps you can help me. I am looking to find a book publisher for my picture storybook. It is aimed for youngest readers (or should I say listeners!) It is a fiction fantasy/fairytale.
I would most apppreciate any suggestions or comments?
Thank you,
Lucia
