Hello! Ive just discover...

Hello! Ive just discovered this board...I am an illustrator by trade and have had a children's book that I illustrated published in 2001. Since then, I begun to write books for children as well...and some are just awaiting the drawings to complete them. My life is rather hectic and there's always other projects needing done. However, its something Ive always wanted to do and hope to find the time to do even more. Nancy B

Hi, Nancy. I check this board regularly, but it seems to be used infrequently. I write for children too, although I am, as yet, unpublished. I just returned to writing seriously after 10 years of neglecting the work. I'm almost through the Institute for Children's Literature correspondance course, and I have several pieces submitted to various magazines. I'm trying to break into the market with some short, non-fiction pieces so that I can build up a resume. Hopefully, something will come through soon. It's a tough market to break into. Congratulations on being published as an illustrator! What an achievement. Julie
