"Why are picture books texts so hard to sell?" Short answer: THEY'RE NOT! This is one of the biggest misconceptions about children's publishing. After saying this for the twelfth millionth time this week, I wrote a looong post about it: writingcommunity.ca/kidlit-confu... #kidlit #picturebook #pb

This Thursday at 8PM eastern, on Gab ‘n’ Doodle, I’ll be joined by superstar Cecilia Ruiz @cecifonik on insta.
Cecilia work and books are masterfully made. It’s pure magic. I am sure we’ll get to see some wizardry through shape and color.

We need to play.
We need to fail.
We need to experiment. And learn. And try again.
And that's why my #1 piece of advice for picture book writers who have been revising the same pb for years is to gently thank it and set it aside. And then write something new.

Artists who use Photoshop: Any favorite tips and shortcuts to share? Shown here: right-click on your image to select layer and use "color overlay" to change that layer's color. Here are some more of my favorites:

I told my students today that #picturebook writers always say "read 100 recent #picturebooks before you start writing." And then I added "we should be saying 'read them ALOUD'." Picture books are oral texts, and we can learn so much about pacing and sentence structure when reading aloud #kidlit
