Banner image with the title “Advice For Young Writers & Illustrators From Industry Pros” in bold black text. Below the title is a collage of many author and illustrator headshots, arranged in rows. At the bottom, text reads: “Compiled by Debbie Ridpath Ohi – DebbieOhi.com.”

Thanks to the #KidLit #YA book creators who have generously offered advice for young writers and illustrators on my blog over the years! I've compiled some here, each linked to the original interview:
