Grand Prize Winner #1:

AUNTIE FLAMINGO! You have been assigned to agent Jill Corcoran of Herman Agency Inc.

Grand Prize Winner #2:

AMBER ALVAREZ! You have been assigned to agent Lauren E. MacLeod of Strothman Agency.

Grand Prize Winner #3:

LONI EDWARDS! You have been assigned to agent Elana Roth of Caren Johnson Literary Agency.

Congratulations to the three winners! You’ll receive an email soon with instructions asking you to contact your assigned agent by December 7th. So start picking out your 5 best ideas!

Congratulations to everyone else who completed the month with 30 ideas. It was quite a challenge and YOU DID IT! Please come back next week! There will be a winner badge for your blog and more prizes: the Karma Wilson signed book, Jennifer Swanson signed book, and the Naoko Stoop prints.

Thanks again to everyone for making PiBoIdMo a success! See you next year! (Um, well, I hope I see you before that! Lots more kidlit goodies to come!)

Congratulations to all the winners, though I feel like we are ALL winners! I have over 30 PB ideas to work on that I didn’t have 4-1/2 weeks ago! Thank you again, Tara, what a great experience. I can’t wait for NaPiboWriWee!

I completely agree with Laurie! Congrats to the winners, but having 30 new ideas is prize enough for me. This was a life-changing challenge for me and I’m delighted I took part in it. Thanks Tara!

I too already feel a winner at coming up with over 30 ideas, many of which I actually like and plan to work on. Thank you Tara for doing this – it was GREAT!

OMG I never win anything. Actually I forgot about the draw and found out I won from a Google Alert Email. I have a loss of words right now…oh gosh…what ideas to pick?

Thank you very much.

Wow, this is great you guys. A big and hearty congrats. I remember Auntie Flamingo from doing NaPiBoWriMo last spring. Whether it was your name or your comments, I was drawn to you. I hope to read your upcoming picture book. And to Amber and Loni, congrats to you two also. I think it’s great. With all the work you both have done with your illustrating, I think it is terrific that you won. Now, on to publication.
Thanks for all you diligent and hard work Tara.
