The Canadian
Society for Children's Authors Illustrator and Performers {CANSCAIP} has just announced the shortlist of potential
winners for the 2023 competition.
Congratulations to everyone, but special kudos
to those of you from my weekly classes. In the Middle Grade division: Beth
Elliott, Catherine McKenzie, Christine Michaud (who has two books on the short list!), and Penny Thompson.
And in the Picture Book
division: Beth Elliott, and Pawan Kaur Singh.
Plus, I recognize more names from one-day
workshops – congratulations to you all!
(And if you've been in my weekly classes and
I've managed to leave you off my list of congrats, please forgive me! I
remember stories better than names.) ~Brian
CANSCAIP offers this
competition for would-be authors of picture books, middle grade, and young
adult novels each year. This is a great opportunity, and thanks to the
wonderful efforts of numerous volunteers, the hundreds of entries, not only get
read, they get comments. CANSCAIP
