Join us for a lively panel discussion with these picture book authors who will share their paths to traditional publication, including writing tips and takeaways for aspiring picture book writers and illustrators. Invite friends to join us after the panel for a free read-aloud for all ages.
You’ll hear perspectives on uniting art and language, selling a story without an agent, and finding inspiration from real life to the mythic. The panel will be facilitated by Merriam Saunders, author of My Whirling, Twirling Motor and the forthcoming My Wandering, Dreaming Mind.
