How long the process takes to get a picture book published. What surprised you the most working as an author? Maybe they say something funny or ask a question and it will spark an idea for me. They have such a silly way of looking at the world. What inspires you to create picture books? Then I have my mom job to my 10-year-old twins, which requires a lot of time right now to help them through e-learning. Oh I wish I could! I do freelance technical writing work from time to time, and am currently working with author Bethany Hegedus as her author assistant and helping run her Courage to Create program. It was a good way to dip my toe into the publishing world. And while she didn’t pick those up, she did ask me to write Triceratops Would Not Be a Good Ninja. A friend referred me to her editor, who invited me to send her a couple picture book manuscripts. But my first book was a Work For Hire project for Capstone, published for the school and library market. I started my writing career with short stories, and have had a handful published. I didn’t get paid a thing, but I was super happy!
I had my first short story published in 2005. How many years have you been in publishing? We live within walking distance of La Grange’s downtown, elementary school, and most importantly library! It’s a suburban with a bit of an urban feel. I live in La Grange, Illinois-a suburb of Chicago.
