Sylvan Dell Publishing is pleased to announce their first Picture Book Writing Competition for Homeschooled Students. Publishers Lee and Donna German are former homeschooling parents, and they are excited to offer this opportunity and to give back to homeschooled students across the country.

Sylvan Dell Publishing's Picture Book Writing Competition offers homeschooled students working at a high school level a unique opportunity to explore the world of children's literature and try their hand at writing a picture book. The winning author will receive a $200 prize and the manuscript will be seriously considered for publication.

All submissions must be e-mailed to Homeschool Market Liaison Maggie Stuart by May 1, 2007. Her e-mail address is MaggieStuart@SylvanDellPublishing.com. Ms. Stuart will confirm receipt of every submission and answer questions that arise. Manuscripts that arrive by mail will not be considered.
