2025 Ohio North SCBWI -agent was critiquing a pitch. He liked how it ended in a question. The group gasped. How many times have you been told not to do that? Yet, he found it refreshing. Lesson learned? Do what is right for you and your story. You know what is best.

I have seen marketing plans for 1 year and 6 months. I must be crazy as I'm trying to throw something together in a couple of weeks - eek! Actually realizing that your debut picture book is going to be published is AMAZING!
