This nice post is about me (nobody was paid to write it!!!) - anyway it’s all true, I do dole out publishing advice on the tumblr. If you want to ask questions that’s great, but I beg you to look at the FAQ first — after a decade, many of them have been asked many times! 😘

Hey new illustrators! If you're creating a picture book w images that are a full (2-page) spread, be mindful not to put anything important in the gutter. (aka the middle, where pages connect to spine)
For ex: If the main character is dead center in your image, he'll be cut in half by the gutter. :/
