@SoCalledYALife Do you represent illustrator SL who are not necessarily author/illustrators? #askanagent

[SCBWI-Iowa @IowaSCBWI]

@SoCalledYALife What are you looking for in terms of a portfolio from illustrators who are seeking representation and a chance to be a part of the picture book market? #askanagent

[SCBWI-Iowa @IowaSCBWI]

@SoCalledYALife As an illustrator, will I ever be deciding on pagination, or will I always receive manuscripts with pagination finished? Will I be able to provide feedback/pushback on pagination after I create a draft? #askanagent

3 things #SCBWIDigital Workshops have taught us: 1) “Rewrite the beginning of your book when you finish the book.” -@Sara_Sargent; 2) “Poke at the knot to raise the stakes.” -@KateMessner; 3) Color-coded bookshelves are the way of the future.

Can't wait! Next weekend 🥳
