New PJ Library fellowship for college students interested in writing Jewish picture books

Hi all, just sharing an opportunity that I saw on Facebook from PJ Library, a nonprofit that sends out Jewish books to kids. It's for their new College Storytellers Cohort.

Copying and pasting what I saw, I am not affiliated outside of being Facebook friends with the person who's organizing this...

PJ Library has launched the College Storytellers Fellowship, a paid, year-long fellowship for 10-15 undergraduate and graduate students across North America who are interested in writing Jewish picture books.

From October 2026 through July 2027, fellows will:

  • Develop and revise an original Jewish picture book manuscript
  • Participate in monthly virtual workshops
  • Receive feedback from peers and mentors
  • Meet authors, illustrators, editors, literary agents, and publishers
  • Explore careers in children's publishing and the Jewish nonprofit world
  • Build lasting friendships with fellow storytellers

 

Fellows will also receive:

  • A $1,000 stipend
  • A fully funded overnight trip to New York City (January 2027)
  • The opportunity to have their manuscript considered by PJ Library (participation does not guarantee publication)

 

Eligibility:

We're looking for undergraduate and graduate students who are: 

  • Enrolled at a North American college or university during the 2026–27 academic year  
  • Passionate about Jewish stories and children's books  
  • Excited to learn, collaborate, and grow as writers  
  • Able to participate in monthly virtual programming and the in-person event
  • No previous publishing experience required

Applications are open now and due September 22, 2026.

Special thanks to someone’s mom who def laminated this card :D

Aquapolis Umby has unfortunately outpriced me, but I found an ebay listing for an altered/laminated card that was near decent!

It was authenticated by Ebay (via PSA) as legit. And in my binder you’d never know!

I bought a “laminated” card on ebay. My binder is happy!

I ordered two bowls to complete a set from a website called "Replacements" and based on how they shipped, now need replacements of those replacements.

Thanks I guess?

Jolteon grail acquired 🙏✨

Went to showcase card shows in garden grove today and traded a bunch of cards for my grail. Shoutout the to vendor, Troy!

I’ve been looking for Jolteon GS for my binder since about April, can’t believe I found a decent raw copy!

shows can be hit or miss but meeting cool vendors and trading for grails is still 👑

Whoever can tell me why this is a 3, you're my new best friend! (Story in caption, please read)

Hello! For the record, this post is just for fun.

Back when the 151 reverse Metapod was a meme on Reddit, I walked into my LCS and saw a reverse holo legendary collection Metapod. It was a PSA 3 and $20, so I just bought it because I thought it was funny.

I attend a lot of local shows and wear it in a slab bag (pic 3) so people see it and ask me about it. Again I think it's fun, it's a good conversation piece with vendors & collectors.

I've invented a story in my head that it was pack fresh, the person who graded it expected a 10, got a 3, and then sold it to my LCS while super pissed off, only to be picked up by me who wears it in on her bag lol.

I have yet to meet the person who graded it though haha (I assume they're local, although I'm Los Angeles based, so could be anyone!)

Obviously I can see it has some whitening on the edges. And obviously I know that LC is notoriously hard to grade.

I assume there's a micro dent somewhere on it, but I've tried looking, I took it to a 200x microscope, I've had dozens of experienced vendors look at it too. No one can tell me why it's a 3. Everyone is baffled and confused.

So, I ask you, Reddit! Plz help me spot the issue!!!

(FYI, I'm not regrading it. I love that it's a 3, and it's truly a fun piece for my collection/my fave card show accessory haha. I'm also not selling it. Just would love to know if anyone can spot the dent!)
