Please read! While I support "Buy Canadian", it doesn't work for the book industry. It can hurt Canadian authors and local booksellers. Keep supporting your local indies and authors! Thank you! 🫶 🇨🇦 #kidlit vancouversun.com/business/bc-...

I've been collecting some resources and opportunities for young writers and illustrators to learn and receive feedback on their craft: bit.ly/3DPjEeW It's by no means exhaustive, and I'd love to grow it! Particularly looking for examples that are free/low-cost. LMK if you have any to add! #kidlit
