#50PreciousWords UPDATE!! Still happily wading our way thru 672 AMAZING stories & still collecting books for the #literacy initiative at @BookeryMHT - 70 ordered so far that will be donated to Manchester schools in need. Please join this worthy effort - kids need books! #kidlit

THE #50PRECIOUSWORDS 2024 INTERNATIONAL WRITING CONTEST IS OPEN viviankirkfield.com/2024/03/02/the… via @viviankirkfield

Justin is The Pitch King! His pitches are brilliant. He helped make mine dazzle before I signed with my agent. @JustinRColon - if participants need help with the query pitch for #PBParty or the one for #PBPitch...when is the latest they can contact you? Both are almost here!

We didn't realize #PBpitch would be on Feb. 22 when we set the 2024 #PBParty date. Between PBpitch and the #PBParty contest...it does feel like a special PB holiday! I think all the excitement for both might make the day easier, too. Good luck! :)

How was PBpitch? Anyone need a hug?

Way to go, Mrs. Claus!

@slikniky Thanks!

@PatHaap Aww cute idea to use humpty dumpty in a clean cup book. I hope all the kings horses come to the rescue!

Humpty Dumpty’s wall once gave him the perfect view of the beauty in his town. Now all he sees is garbage. It’s going to take a crew to clean up this mess. #PBPitch
