Huge congrats to the talented 2025 PBParty finalists. We received over 1000 entries and there were so many we loved. The PBParty Dream Team of Judges and I worked hard to showcase our 55 favorites in a variety of genres…plus the incredible Illustration Showcase at the end. We can’t wait for you to view them all. 💗

Agents, PAL editors, and art directors can request the full manuscript (or whatever materials you’d like) in the comment section of each entry. *Entries 46-55 say {Art} next to the title and include two illustrations in addition to everything the writer entries include.

Happy reading! We hope you’ll find tons of gems.

NOTE: Comments are ONLY for agents, editors, and art directors. The finalists may reply, if they’d like. Please save all other comments for Twitter or other shout outs.
