So I've written a picture book...

Where would I find a willing person to read it and tell me how rubbish it is? I stupidly sent it to a few agents on a whim and have had 2 rejections so I would like to find someone who can tell me where I've gone wrong!

I'm not an expert, but I too have been writing some picture books.
I'd be happy to take a look at give you some pointers if you'd like.
Please PM me if you're interested.

I'd like to look at it as well! Can that be done online? I think you'd have to tell us exactly who you're targetting it at and what other kinds of books that person would like to read. PM me if you like - I have an MA in Creative Writing and am writing my third novel.

I write picture books. I'm happy to have a look if you'd like. Smile

Oh they would be great, thank you. My punctuation is all over the place I think and it doesn't rhyme but DS asked for a book that we couldnt find anything like in the library so I just wrote something down for him.
Will PM you all later once I've switched from iPhone to laptop and sorted out children.

I've got it. Smile Don't worry about the punctuation, think about the story and how you're going to tell it first. Not all picture books rhyme.

I have PMed you back with a couple of ideas.
I hope they are helpful. :)

Could i read it? I've been trying to write one so it would be interesting to see what you have written. Not sure id actually be much help as i haven't had mine published or anything. Although i LOVE this sort of book!
