PICTURE BOOK SUMMER CAMP 2024 Application
PJ Library invites authors and author-illustrators interested in developing Jewish-themed picture books to apply for the 3rd annual Picture Book Summer Camp for five days of inspiration, mentorship, fun, and creativity! This opportunity is for emerging creatives whose work has not yet been published, or who have no more than one published picture book. While last year we invited PBSC alums to apply to join us, the overwhelming enthusiasm meant we had to turn down many excellent applications. Due to capacity limits this year's program is open only to those who have not participated in a Picture Book Summer Camp before. The retreat will run from Sunday, August 25 through Thursday, August 29, 2024, on the beautiful Pennsylvania campus of the Highlights Foundation. Applications are due by midnight (EST) Sunday, March 31, 2024, and applicants will be notified of their acceptance status by early May. Acceptance into the program covers tuition, lodging, and meals. Stipends to cover domestic and international costs for travel to the retreat center will once again be available from PJ Library (details will be provided upon program acceptance). Accepted storytellers will arrive by 5:30 pm Eastern on Sunday, August 25 and depart on Thursday, August 29 following lunch. NB: Our "Thank you for applying" screen acts as confirmation that PJ Library received your submission. This form is unable to automatically email confirmation of submissions. Please email authors@pjlibrary.org with any questions. We look forward to writing with you this summer!
