I want to make another piece with the same energy but I’m kind of wondering where the line of pb and mg illustrations is drawn since making simpler illustrations.

A selection of 4 collage illustrations by Mark Hoffmann: A wolf sneaking into a castle; School kids getting off the bus and entering a school full of dinosaurs; A soccer referee blowing a whistle; A town of mice wearing pants

Got any spring plans?

They really do! I submitted my work the last time they opened for submission. I’ll apply again!

Just putting this on here, Red Fox Literary open to queries on this date. #kidlit #kidlitillustrator

Other questions, how common are Kidlit podcasts? Is that becoming the new marketing tactic?I know social media can be iffy. Also, have you go over the jump from picture books to graphic novels and is it as challenging as it seems to be or was it too easy?

You went over how you went from not believing you could illustrate this story to being encouraged to illustrate correct? I would like to know more. I have one, maybe two, I don’t think I can personally illustrate.

#kidlit #earlyreader #easyreader

Want to know more about writing early/easy readers? There’s a presentation that could help you out with the Lola M. Schaefer! Here’s a link! www.scbwi.org/events/scbwi...

I will be recording an episode about my upcoming book. Submit any questions you have and I will address them in the podcast. Post your questions on the comments, or DM me your ❓ if you want to remain private. #kidlitMegaFeed #kidlit #illustrators #writingcommunity #podcastlisteners #writers
