Introducing...
The 2018 Team of Presenters
The ReFoReMo Challenge, or Reading for Research Month
Challenge, was founded in 2015 to help picture book writers reform writing by
reading and researching mentor texts in the month of March. We believe it
is necessary to read a wide variety of picture books to truly understand the
form, the market, and the craft of writing them.
The goal of ReFoReMo is to build reading background while
learning how to use mentor texts. We welcome classrooms, educators,
writers, illustrators, and publishing professionals to learn with us. After
reading the daily online posts, participants will read picture books and apply
the things they learn to their own writing. In the month of March, the big goal
will be to read on a daily basis. Emphasis will be on quality research rather
than quantity. Consistency is key! Approximately 120 picture books will
be recommended for perspectives connected to different elements of writing. Some
writers will want to spend more time with certain books than others while researching.
We encourage writers to go beyond our list of recommendations to find mentor
texts that appeal to your personal projects.
As we gear up with excitement, we invite you to spread the word and extend an invitation to all writers. The bigger the buzz, the more we will inspire. Together we
can transform our writing through ReFoReMo. That's a great thing to
share!
