*I was told I didn't have enough backgrounds at the critic I got at the last conference. So I am reworking and adding backgrounds to all the dogs in The Book of Dogs. I might change the "Poo"
to "PU Poodle!" -A poodle is going on this one...
Attended this workshop on October 27th. It was a great workshop. Kristin Ostby from Simon & Schuster spoke about hitting the sweet spot between comercial and literary work for middle grade readers. She also spoke writing for boys in middle grade. She was very informative and I learned a lot.
Lindsay Ward (wrote/illustrated When Blue Met Egg) talked about the "perfect marriage" between text and illustration. She had great visuals with examples of various picture books. This was a wonderful presentation.
All this in a half day workshop. I came home feeling like I better get to work! http://www.amazon.com/When-Blue-Met-Lindsay-Ward/dp/0803737181/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352828345&sr=8-1&keywords=when+blue+met+egg
