We live in a diverse country and a diverse world, and our literature, especially our literature for children, needs to reflect this. I am so impressed with the work We Need Diverse Books has done in this capacity, from offering mentorships to diverse creators, offering internships in the publishing industry, and honoring diverse creators of diverse books with their Walter Awards. WNDB’s 2018 Fall Fundraiser goal is to raise $50,000 to bring free books to low-income schools across the country. Kids need to have access to books in which they can see themselves.
In support of this wonderful organization, I’m giving away two picture book critiques and two middle grade query critiques! If you’re interested, here’s what you need to do:
- Donate $75 or more to the WNDB Fall Fundraiser here: https://diversebooks.org/fall-fundraiser-2018/
- Send a screenshot of your donation to me at rajani@rajanilarocca.com
- In your email, tell me whether you’d like a PB or MG query critique.
- First come, first served!
- I will get my critique back to you by December 1, 2018
Thanks for helping me help this fantastic organization!
