Oops - looks like Mandy and I had a miscommunication

I was so looking forward to Mandy's post today and when it wasn't there, I reread my post above and realized that maybe she thought that it was just going to be me. Oh no!! I corrected the post now and hopefully we'll hear from Mandy soon. My agenting series will be back the first Monday in February.

Meanwhile to make up for this snafu, I am going to give you a sneak peek at one of the beginning videos for the upcoming interactive Craft and Business of Writing Children's Picture Books e-Course, which combines live webinars, written and video lessons, templates, optional critique groups and more goodies than you can shake a stick at (possibly an Australian expression). Anyway your upcoming video is on writing hooks to seduce the reader into reading further. And if you like weirdness, note how my bad-hair-day-hat takes on a life of its own towards the end :)
