ReFoReMo 2016 is Coming- New & Improved

When inspiration spoke to my heart and ReFoReMo planning began last January, my plan leapt into reality in three short months! I am thankful to have more reflection time for the 2016 second annual ReFoReMo Challenge next March. There are some exciting new changes heading your way.

Moving forward, ReFoReMo will be a fully shared partnership between myself and author Kirsti Call.  Many of you already know that Kirsti and I have been writing partners for over two years. We both focus on picture book writing, and between the two of us, bring a wealth of knowledge from classes, craft writing books, conferences, and hands-on experience.  We both actively blog on multiple sites and place great importance on giving back to the kidlit community.  And most importantly, we both believe that reading and researching mentor texts is a transformative experience.

We’ve already secured the ReFoReMo author-educators for 2016 and we have a few surprises up our sleeves! The calendar will be posted in January and registration will open on February 15. To tide you over until then and continue supporting your research efforts, weekly posts will continue. Starting in October, Kirsti will feature an author study every 1st Monday and bonus links every 4th Thursday. I will continue to host a featured mentor text interview every 2nd Tuesday and present you with a new mentor text challenge every 3rd Tuesday.

Even though March 2016 seems like a long way from now, it will be here before you know it. Looking forward to learning and growing once again with you, Carrie and Kristin, too.

I definitely need this! I read a lot of kids books, but never really research them for writing purposes.
