Hello! My name is Brian LaRossa, I’m executive art director in Scholastic’s hardcover picture book group, where I’ve worked for 20 years. I oversee our Branches and Acorn imprints which are beginning graphic readers and illustrated chapter books, I also oversee our younger nonfiction series, and a good number of stand alone fiction and nonfiction picture books for our Orchard imprint.

If you're an illustrator who is interested in working together I would love to hear from you! I've created this form to help me capture a record of your interest. Please note that this form is not time-sensitive. I keep it live year-round. When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions. In addition, I also regularly post open calls, exclusively on Bluesky. I invite you to follow me there and submit your work! If your work is a good fit for an upcoming title I will reach out at that time. Until then, take care!

Hey illustrators! Did you know there's a contact form on my website just for you? When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions.

I can't believe "Disgraced sex pervert shows up to America's largest city for the first time in 30 years and demands to run it" wasn't a winning campaign strategy.

This Fucking Guy I lived in New York City for twenty-five years and I don’t live there anymore.

a very good summation of why it is galling that people are supporting cuomo, or why we haven't ran him out of new york city (where he doesn't even live)

Andrew Cuomo’s big solution for dealing with the homeless when he was governor was to close the subway at night, then arrest them for trespassing.
