This is how I feel before the holidays! I can't believe it is already November! Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!
I am looking for representation as an illustrator or author.
As a collage illustrator I love to create my own painted papers and then make lovable characters! #kidlit #kidlitart #collage

It's important to keep up with the topics that are important to kids in our world and expose them to different types of people/places, but also tell the stories that you want. So I keep trends in mind while also staying true to my story. #kidlitchat #kidlit #diversity #pride #stem #shareyourstory
TOPIC: We just had a time change and, as always, times are changing, too. Do you keep an eye on trends? How do they inform how you work? And what trends are you noticing in the kidbook biz these days? #kidlitchat

Hey #kidlit and #kidlitart community! I have been part of an amazing critique group for 3yrs and am in desperate need of fresh eyes on a story. I got a critique from an agent where she couldn't follow the sequence of events and I think I need some unbiased help from a willing author/illustrator.
