BLOG BREAK Perseverance & Picture Books

Nick Cross presents his selection of must-read SCBWI-BI member blogs.


Rachael Davis is welcoming John Condon to her blog this week, for an in-depth interview about the making of John's new picture book The Best Bear Tracker.



Claire Fayers's blog post for An Awfully Big Blog Adventure is one for those of us who just won't give up on a story idea, even during those times when it doesn't seem to be working. You can get through it!



How do you make sure the characters in your stories are ones that you (and your readers) will fall in love with? Ann Brady has some tips.



As the author and/or illustrator of 10 published picture books, life would seem to be going swimmingly for Julia Woolf. But as she reveals in her honest blog post for Picture Book Den, success doesn't always mitigate the doubts and fears of a creative life.

No comments:

We love comments and really appreciate the time it takes to leave one.
Interesting and pithy reactions to a post are brilliant but we also LOVE it when people just say they've read and enjoyed.
We've made it easy to comment by losing the 'are you human?' test, which means we get a lot of spam. Fortunately, Blogger recognises these, so most, if not all, anonymous comments are deleted without reading.
