Join 12 x 12! 2013 participants (450+ so far!) are raving about their experience. See what some of them have to say in this video!! Then keep reading for instructions on how to JOIN today. Registration is only open for a limited time, so act now before it’s too late!
For less than the cost of a single conference, picture book writers and illustrators can become members of 12 x 12 and get access to all the benefits of a writer’s conference — learning from experts, craft advice and assistance, the fellowship of community and the opportunity to submit completed, polished manuscripts — without having to travel. You’ll get the motivation and accountability you need to get those drafts finished, all with the support of the friendliest writing community on earth.
If you join, you will be encouraged and supported as you attempt to write one picture book draft a month, AND to revise one and submit one manuscript as additional, optional goals. There will of course be more outstanding featured authors giving away fabulous prizes that will help you in your craft. Finally — in addition to the Facebook group — we have a brand new online forum that’s already buzzing with activity as members share information and critique each other’s work.

The Shel SILVERstein level gives you the ability to get feedback on YOUR work – queries, pitches and manuscripts — perfect for writers want to focus on both writing and revising.
Shel SILVERstein is also perfect for agented, published authors who would like access to an instant platform. A place to share your books, events, trailers AND to get promotion assistance (in the Help an Author Out section of the Forum) from fellow members.
You’re no Poky Little Puppy. Your manuscripts aren’t Saggy, Baggy like an Elephant. You might even have a Monster at the End of Your Book who is going to become the next best-loved character in picture books.
Do you have submission-ready manuscripts? Are you looking for an agent or editor (who accepts picture books!) for your work? If so, Little GOLDen Book is for you! Each month, one agent or editor will accept submissions from 12 x 12 members for the duration of that month, enabling...
