I am proud to have been selected to participate the Rutgers University Council on Children’s Literature One-on-One Plus Conference. What a thrill to be included in the talent pool! I appreciate the number of volunteers who were involved in the preparations and execution of this event. I am pleased to have met a number of children’s publishing authors, illustrators, editors, agents, and art directors. Thanks to Liza Fleissig for mentoring and encouraging me. Princess Patty is a little pouty, but she’s willing to change!
Congrats to Barbara DiLorenzo for her upcoming book with Viking, Renato and the Lion! It was so nice to meet Peter Catalanotto, Patricia Keeler, and so many more talented and creative people.
