Auction #44 – KidLit Cares: Full Manuscript Critique from Author/Editor/Teacher Bev Katz Rosenbaum

Welcome to KidLit Cares, an online talent auction to benefit the Red Cross relief effort to help communities recover from Superstorm Sandy. KidLit Cares was started by the very awesome Kate Messner, but I’m taking over Round 2. Agents, editors, authors, illustrators and other generous people have donated various services to be auctioned off to the highest bidder, with donations being made directly to the Red Cross disaster relief fund. You can read more about KidLit Cares here.

Now, on to the auction!

Bev Katz Rosenbaum, a popular freelance editor, is a former in-house editor at Harlequin Books and McGraw-Hill Ryerson. She is also a published author herself, of the Harlequin ‘Flipside’ novel Wanted: An Interesting Life, and the Berkley/Penguin young adult novel I Was a Teenage Popsicle, both currently available in all digital formats. Rosenbaum has also written a number of essays on various popular culture phenomena for Smart Pop Books. She created and teaches a children’s writing course at Centennial College in Toronto, where she lives with her husband and two children, and is hard at work on some new adult and teen romantic comedies. (Stay tuned!)

The winner of this auction will receive a full manuscript critique.

Opening Bid: $30

This auction closes at 10pm Eastern Standard Time on November 25. Any bids placed after that time will be void.

If you’d like to bid on this auction, check the current high bid and place a higher bid by leaving your name and bid amount in the comments, along with some way to contact you (email, FB or Twitter…I’m not fussy.) Winners will be notified when the auction ends and should be prepared to make an online donation to the Red Cross Disaster Relief fund in the amount of the high bid at that time.  After you’ve made your donation, you’ll forward your receipt to me, and I’ll put you in touch with the person who donated the service you won so that the two of you can work out the details about how and when.   All services will be provided at the convenience of both the person making the donation and the auction winner, but this should happen within three months of the auction’s end unless something else is agreed upon by both parties.

Good luck and thanks for your help!
