My book on calligraphy for greetings cards and scrapbooking was 'banned' before it was published. Scrapbooking groups wouldn't let me join—they believed the book would encourage people to d-i-y, & they had members with shops that sold products like rubber stamps with lettering.

Now out of print.

I know how much your advice has benefitted many creators, but does it preclude you from considering the work for representation?

My agent for 10 years has retired...sigh! I hope you open to queries soon.

Best wishes,

Thanks so much! Let me know if there's ever a way I can help you, and if your 6th graders want ideas. Maybe I should start a YouTube channel on all kinds of creative possibilities, like easy artistic papermaking and...

I learnt to write Italic at school when I was 9 in the UK. It can be addictive 😀
