Large blue text reads, “Why do so many book people keep forgetting to credit illustrators?” Beside the text, a roundish blue winged horse contains the text “#Pictures Mean Business.” At the bottom is the credit: “Illustration: Sarah McIntyre along with a website link.

To publishers, authors, & others posting about illustrated books, including covers that have illustration: Please credit the ILLUSTRATOR.

This not only helps boost the illustrator, but also shows that you value HUMAN illustrators.

Yay! I still can’t believe it happened! #kidlitart #scbwi

Nice! I’ve done my share of reduction cuts. They can be quite a challenge, but so exciting when you see the end result!

Thanks, Sonya! I just saw this. I haven’t been on Blue Sky much lately. I hope all is going well with you, too! 😍

I’m thrilled to announce that I am now represented by Tracy Marchini at @bookendsliterary.bsky.social!

Breaking- HB3225 which would have set age restrictions at public libraries failed to pass the Senate deadline tonight. We are glad to know that Texas public libraries can continue serving patrons and allowing families to make their own choices.

This is something to celebrate!

Truly a great resource for teachers and also just plain fun for #poetry fans. Grateful to be a part of it….

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day!
Making #picturebooks is my passion and I’m so lucky to do this for a living! My favorite things to draw are weather, fantastical nature driven backgrounds and funny characters. Contact my agent for any #kidlit project- I’d love to work on more brilliant stories!
