I hope you all had a relaxing summer. Maybe you got everything done you wanted to do this summer, or maybe you took a break from creating. There is no one-size-fits-all for writing and illustration. If you got things done, that's fantastic and if you took a break, know that's ok too. I hope this coming fall will be a wonderful time for you and you can take part in some wonderful writing and illustration events!

The Academy has also extended their fabulous 40% discounts for the Palooza until Monday August 30th. Check out these testimonials from last year:
Absolutely amazing: immersion in an incredibly fine conference, for such an affordable price! Palooza spans fiction and nonfiction, stories from life and concept books, diverse voices, current trends. The presentations from authors, illustrators, editors, and agents are top-notch.  These folks know their stuff and generously contribute to "the wind beneath our wings." Plus, the Palooza provides plentiful resources. Rest assured, even if you don't win one of the many giveaways, you'll have a great takeaway, whether you are a newbie like me, or well on your way. The Palooza's ratio of quality and quantity to cost is remarkable - you'll fill your cup to overflowing, while funding scholarships!  Get in on it! ~ Debra Collins
The Picture Book Palooza offers everything you need to get started in the world of writing books for children! Authors, editors, agents, and other industry professionals offer their very best advice, strategies, and tools to help you with your kidlit writing and illustrating career. Don't miss this opportunity! ~ Moni Hadley Richie (published author)
Last year’s Palooza was my gateway to writing for children, giving me a glimpse into a world of creativity, support, and encouragement. The wonderful group of professionals from the kidlit community from the Palooza inspired me to enroll in the Craft & Business of Writing Children’s Picture Books course, and gave me lots of ideas for picture books that became initial drafts in the subsequent course. Can’t wait for this year’s Palooza! ~ Emrah Guler (now agented and beginning his kidlit career)
