A contest to challenge you to use your words wisely-50 words, to be exact. Let me know, if you plan to enter and we can cheer each other on?

When you see a writing friend’s picture book at your local Towne Center Books, a lovely book for Ramadan!

I’ve shared my portfolio in Google images, but that’s not really considered a landing page, is it? Hmm?

Hi Brian, I am a SCBWI member for many years, want to participate in PB Party and hopefully get a portfolio set up to accompany a PB story and share online, do you have suggestions for FREE ways to do it (or could I share simply in Google)?

“The Voice of Hope: The Myrlie Evers-Williams Story,” a picture book biography dear to my heart, told and illustrated with strength and precise words. It’s a picture book with several educational themes, making it useful in schools and classrooms. Thanks, my friend Nadia and your publication team!
