I was fortunate to do a fall course with Kyo Maclear, and also attended CANSCAIP in Toronto, where you can do one-on-one meetings with editors. Both turned into community building opportunities. This is what I love about Bookish, which I host--I meet fabulous people and learn so much #kidlitchat

Leaving on a Jet Plane in less than 11.5hours. I once was a CSA West Jet employee back in my youth despite not liking airports or flying. I think I have all the art inspo from home I need to take. How many Golden & Beatrix potters books for colour refs is too many?! Comfy Shoes ☑️ #kidlit #kidlitart

Also, I feel lucky to be supported by Canscaip before getting there for this conference. They reached out when they didn’t have to when life was piling up & a submission was due and I had a child have a family emergency & my mind slipped my portfolio was due. They called to check in & I got it in❤️

When we reached the time limit I had set for our meet-up, she kept asking questions. It was clear I was not giving her the info she wanted (which was how to get published NOW). She had no interest in joining SCBWI or CANSCAIP or finding local group.

Nearly 2 wks later, she hasn't sent any thanks.
