So my critique partner, Kelly, mentioned a tweet contest yesterday. Random House UK had created a new twitter account and decided to do a bit of an experiment. They would offer twitter feedback on the first 25 picture books they received.
I thought, hey, why not. I have like two picture books up my sleeve. I haven't done a whole lot with them, but to get feedback from an editor...how can you pass up that opportunity, right? So I sent them my PB story about a dragon that face paints (inspired from my logo from my face painting business.) And guess what?
The editor asked if she could take it to a meeting next week.
So now, not only do I have a fantasy novel out with the Angry Robot editors, I have a picture book out with Random House UK. I'm starting to think that I should move out to the UK. I seem to be having a lot more luck with them than over here in the states.
I should hear back from Random House after Thursday of next week.
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hey, that's great. Good luck.
So excited for you! This proves something... you have huge talent! I'm crossing my fingers like crazy, but even if nothing *happens* you know you're good.
(So many exciting things happening with the Operation Awesome peeps!)
