As a kid, I always wanted to be a writer. As I grew and changed, my ideals became what I thought was more "practical" and I "knew" that writing books would never make me any money.
So I got a REALISTIC degree in secondary education, graduated in 2009, and what do you know, my practical, realistic degree has yielded not a single satisfying job. Luckily for me, my minor was in ART, which, combined with my love for literature, has drawn me undeniably to Picture Books. SO here I am, forging my way into the picture book world, trying to increase my creativity, skills, and knowledge of the ins and outs of this bright and colorful place.
Here goes!
Way to go for doing what you love. I'm excited to see what you'll be working on and learning!
