Screenshot: 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.

Kidlit Illustrators, you don’t need a huge social following. I hire illustrators who don’t have huge followings all the time. You just need strong work. If you’re trying to decide between spending time practicing or posting, I’d recommend practicing. 💙❤️

A young boy crosses a river over a straight line of stepping stones, illuminated by a flashlight. Behind him, two eyes pierce through the darkness. On the other side of the river are two silhouettes waiting for him.

Cover Design for Close Call

I’m getting the first chapter printed through Amazon and then putting the whole project aside for later. I’m happy with the end result and may even put it up for sale so anyone can grab a copy if they want. Something a little scary for this time of year 🎃

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024 By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1 For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1) And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!
