Dream Jar Publishing Call

The submissions page for Dream Jar Publishing says:

“AUTHORS: We are currently open for a limited submission opportunity. At this time, we are ONLY looking for chapter book or early middle grade stories (no more than 15,000 words) for one of our imprints below. The work must be complete, not a work-in-progress.”

The submissions form says: “We do not read full manuscripts for submissions, only review pitches and synopses. If one captures our attention and interest, we’ll reach out for the full manuscript.”

FYI: The Field of Dreams book announced on the Dream Jar Publishing homepage was co-written by Stacy B. Davids, one of my former students.

November KidLitWriMo begins Saturday

The October Writing Challenge ends this week, but the KidLitWriMo writers want to keep going . . . so we will. If you can write 30 minutes everyday for 30 days, you will have spent 15 hours writing your book! That’s what we did in October 2025.

If you only write on the weekdays (or are traveling for the holidays) use the 20 day schedule instead.

If you write *30* minutes a day for *20* days that adds up to *10* hours of writing. (It also helps you keep your story alive during a busy time of year.) Small steps make a difference.
