My mom is an artist and we've always toyed with the idea of writing PB's together. I found your blog very helpful. Thank you!Katrina L.

Though picture books are a little different than YA/MG manuscripts, particularly the shorter ones.<br /><br />That's so exciting that you're branching out into PBs.
