I few years back I sent an idea, a cover and a bunch of rough illustrations to art directors and editors of some of the most prestigious children's book publishers. I got a lot of positive feedback and requests for more of my work. Wow, was I excited. I figured I would get around to that sooner or later. Well, guess what? I am looking at all of those email exchanges and they are from OVER FIVE YEARS ago!
OK... I will admit it, that's disheartening.
Sooooo anyhoo, I am going to start this process again, and we'll see how it goes. I hope to keep myself motivated by publishing this post. We'll see how it works. I have at least two solid ideas, one for a board book of sorts, and the other for early readers. Of course I also have ideas for merchandising, television spin-offs and plush toys, but I will come back to that after I get ink on paper. I might put roughs, etc...up on my website. Give me a few months, I am up to my waddle with AR's, photo shoots, and newsletters. I think I need to prepare to feel the wrath of procrastination!
Note: Above is the cover from my almost never was book. Look for more possible non-existent titles coming soon.
