      @doodlemick I think I can send you my email over a chat in the forum if you want to email it to me. I will give it a try, let me know if it works.

        Hi Mick,
        I’d be happy to give a look over. I’m currently taking a university course on writing picture books and it would also help me put my skills to use, to look through someone else’s writing and offer insight.

          I don't think there's a problem if you post it here, I know many of us would love to share our opinions with you and help push you along your path. Maybe just input a link?

                      I think I am ready to send out version 13 of my "Dexter Doesn't Quit" Picture Book Manuscript. Are you three still willing to give honest feedback and harsh critiques if required?

                                        I Just wanted to personally thank @Frogpunzel @AngelinaKizz @Asyas_illos and @Cayleen for taking the time to read through and critique my picture book manuscript. I would like to see more options for Manuscript Critiquing like this on SVSLearn if possible.

                                        I am taking all your comments to heart and will be working on an update version soon.

                                        Thanks again.

                                          @doodlemick not sure if this is too late or not, especially since you might not want too many critique partners -- too many cooks, and all that. But I'm willing to read it through and give you honest feedback. I'm a published author-illustrator and have experience editing picture books. You can contact me via my website link, below this message.

                                          Something you might want to seriously consider is joining SCBWI (the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) if you haven't already. There is a wealth of information in The Book (which is updated every year), conventions, and webinars that help authors and illustrators hone their craft. I also found my critique group through my regional SCBWI chapter. It's a great resource that I have personally found well worth the membership fee.

                                            @melissa_bailey Thank you for the offer. I would like to make a few revisions and reach back out to you in a week or so it your still interested.

                                            I have heard of the SCBWI, but I have not yet looked into them. I am currently taking the Children’s Book Pro course, and I want to focus on that course and my manuscript for now.

                                            Thank You
