WHAT?

Mighty Kid Lit for authors and illustrators–published and pre-published. 

Six weeks ago Michele invited published and pre-published authors and

illustrators to become members of Mighty KidLit. Mighty Kid Lit continues

to welcome kidlit folks. This week the total reached 200 members.

The goal of Mighty Kid Lit is to create a supportive kidlit community for authors and illustrators at all levels of writing and illustrating experience. If you are new to creating children's literature or are a published author or illustrator this is a nurturing and caring community.

This free kidlit community offers:

• Creativity Building

• Book Launch and Birthday Parties

• Critique groups for writers and illustrators

• Art portfolios

• Pitch perfect critique group

• Picture book critique group

• Middle-grade critique group

• Chapter book critique group

• Picture book deep dive--a book study every month
• Resource page of picture books by Mighty Kid Lit members, including links to purchase and ISBN numbers to request from your local library
• Mentorships to inspire developing talent while offering an avenue for published and agented authors and illustrators to give back. This week, seven members will be chosen for the first two-week mentorship from published authors and illustrators.
• A bi-yearly showcase is in the planning stages. Literary agents and editors will be invited.

"It's like Twitter on steroids!" says Michele.

WHY?

Michele believes, "Children’s literature has the power to change the world

one word at a time, building love, acceptance, and a sense of community

in young lives."

She continues, "I was given so much by the KidLit community, that I really wanted to give back. I believe we can create an awesome community with awesome writers and

illustrators who strive to be connected and strive to be more creative. 

It’s impossible to become creative overnight, and awesomeness never happens

alone." 

Michele and Chole

Thank you, Michele, for your generosity in giving to the kidlit community by creating the Mighty Kid Lit platform. It's a great place where book creators can come together for support and opportunities to learn and grow. 

Percy, Michele, and I look forward to welcoming new members to Mighty Kid Lit. Let's read, write, and create together.
