e's news - August '07
Hi All! It's been a few months since my last newsletter.
This year has truly turned into a "nose to grindstone" kind of year for
me - work, work, work. The good news is, it's paying off. I have SIX books coming
out in 2008 (two trade picture books, two parenting aid picture books, and two
educational picture books. I'll talk about them more in upcoming newsletters).
I
also
have
an
article
in the upcoming "You Can Write for Children" issue of Writer's Digest Magazine
on my "Path to Success" - ha! No secret there, just b.i.c. as Jane Yolen likes
to say (butt in chair). I believe it will be the October issue, but it hits shelves September 25th, so look for it! In the mean time, scroll down to see my great
news from SmartWriters.com and don't miss the Decatur Book Festival where I'll
be moderating the illustrator panel.
Good News!
I was named the Grand Prize W.I.N.NER in this year's
2007 SmartWriters.com Competition
for my illustration, "Lula's Brew"
This was the first year an illustrator won this competition, so I was incredibely honored. (That's my lovely trophy in the front.)
Winning this competition also ended up being a huge boon when I attended my first Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI)
National Conference in Los Angeles this summer. Read about my experiences on my blog.
It's time again for the
I will be moderating the illustrator panel on
Sunday, September 2nd at 1:00pm with
Chris Raschka, Judy Schachner, Mark Braught, and Laura Knorr
Be there for a good time!
