This year, a friend suggested Bingo Goals instead of New Year's resolutions - that I usually forget by Feb... And I'm so happy I did it! ✨It's May and reached 2 + a couple more in progress!! To keep it a bit private on my wall I made illustrations for each. Can you guess any? 😊 #kidlitartist

Proofreading I've just finished two proofreading courses and want to have a go at real work! Before I start working with clients I'd love to offer my proofreading services for free. Instead of payment, I ask that you leave me an honest review to help future clients. Maximum word count: 5k File type: word doc preferred but I can work with pdfs Message me to talk about your project!

EXCITING NEWS!

I finally finished my proofreading courses! I'm eager to get started, so would love to help a few indie authors by proofreading up to 5k of their original written work for free. In return I just ask for an honest review to help my future clients.

Interested? Message me!

A bunny and mice on the back of a flying big Pink with red polka dots geese. There are blue clouds The bunny has a blue dress and a beret. She is having ice cream. The mice has a red shirt and its glasses on reading a book about cheese. They are coming back from Bologna Children's Book Fair. They all look pleased.

I'm still unpacking all the abundance of inspiration and joy from #BolognaChildrensBookFair. I had plans that end up becoming something else and I love all about it! I met amazing people in random encouters and feels truly a privilege being part of this #kidlit world 🥰

Ready for the Our Planet Week 2025 prompts?
Would love to see many of you joining ✨

Aww :/ yes, I was wondering if you would be around here... let's make next year! ✨✨

Hey #Kidlit people in #bcbf25 - I would love to meet ! ☺️ I'll be hanging around Illustrators survivor corner with fluffy orange sweater and floral sneakers from 10:30 -12:30! 😊

Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing❤️ good luck to you too!! Maybe we can meet ! I'm usually less social (overwhelmed!!) on the first day but from tomorrow I'm ready! ✨✨ so exciting!

Question to #kidlit #kidlitart Illustrators/Authors x Bologna Fair with own book dummy:
Did you approach publishers? Did you show everything or just summary? Were you afraid of getting your idea stolen?
All advices welcome :)

I honestly never thought about it! Now I wish someone had asked so I didn't feel silly that I never left a review/support on Amazon or any place that truly matter for the author/illustrator -- that includes myself that have no idea where matters *sigh* So, yes, let's ask more! :)

I also got completely hooked! I researched and all (or most of all ) seems to have been in one take. The actors mentioned how intense it was emotionally - and how long took rehearsals etc - it's really brilliant!

A little late to the party, but I wanted to kick off 2025 with brighter skies 💙

Oh these are adorable!! ❤️ I choose C as fav ! And A variation :)
To be honest I love all of them haha! I just think the others expressions tell me more "thinking of you" - if that makes sense ;)

Hey Grace! 🥰 Sooo happy to see you (and your fab art) around here! Slowly falling in love with this place 💕
