SHOULD I SAY SOMETHING? How to Make Room for The Illustrator While Also Advocating for Your Own Picture Book Vision
REGISTER HERE!
Once your picture book is acquired and an illustrator is assigned, it is no longer yours alone. Now, suddenly, you are just one of a team of people who have strong opinions about the vision for your book. But what if you don’t always agree? When and how should you communicate your concerns and preferences? And should you always? As someone who has worked on 18 books with 11 different publishers, I’ve had a lot of experience learning how and when to push back, to compromise, and to acquiesce. In this webinar, I’ll share my experiences and offer tips for making sure your voice is heard while also listening to and making room for the opinions of others. Because, in the end, picture book making is a TEAM sport!
