Kindling Words East is a rekindling event for authors, illustrators and editors working with a traditional children’s book publisher.  If you meet this eligibility requirement, you may sign up for the email list to receive a notification before the lottery opens in early September.

Historically, Kindling Words East has generated a great deal of excitement, and we usually are able to accept a third of the people who sign up for the lottery.  We keep a waitlist after the initial registration, and we contact people as spots open up.

After January 1st, any people still on the waitlist in the New England area will be shifted to a last-minute spot group, no matter how far down they are on the wait-list. When a last-minute spot opens, they will be notified in order of their lottery number.
