I've had my Aerobed since 2008 with no troubles! Seems impossible really, but it actually still works!

It's an interesting question to ask creatives. It shows that there's a route for us all to make art! What number are you, Brian?

#1. I've only recently realised I don't see anything when I close my eyes. I imagine concepts or memories as ideas rather than images. I can draw what I'm looking at quite easily. But when I draw something from my imagination I have to construct it slowly, from a crude sketch to a finished image.

Publishers aren’t just looking for beautiful illustrations; they want artists who can bring stories to life in a way that resonates with young readers, and know HOW to create publishing specific artwork.

I'm not too sure either! Conferences sound like a good idea β€” perhaps being around real people is the way forward with AI threats on the horizon. I might try to create some free activity packs for download from my website next month. Maybe that would help get on more book buyer radars... Maybe πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I'll try to get the ball rolling... I emailed 10 local schools promoting my children's book events. And I replied to one of @brianlarossa.com 's open callouts.

I'm quite lax at self-promotion. I want to improve, without relying exclusively on social media campaigns. So, I'm going to start a monthly #self-promotion thread to a) get inspiration from the community and b) encourage accountability.
So #kidlit folks – how did you promote yourself this month?

Hi Brian ... I may be a little bit late to this call out but I wanted to throw my hat into the ring as I think this could be up my street www.jolindley.com

Hello Autumn is available to pick up from all the usual places, not forgetting libraries! It won't be long before the whole series is out. I wonder what book 4 is called ... πŸ€” ❄
