If you're an early career or unpublished writer, what do you wish you knew about the publishing industry? What do you wish people talked about more? What do you feel is behind a curtain of secrets? #BookSky #Publishing

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you.

The effort is the point.
The giraffe was my favourite part of working on the cover 😍
Always a happy moment when advance copies arrive! What a pleasure it was to work on Ella and the Sleepover Safari, book 2 of @cassy_polimeni’s wonderful frog filled series.

Hey #kidlit, with everything going on in the world I think we could all use a collective reminder.

*Why* do you choose to make books for children?

Hey #kidlit, here’s an idea for an #artshare. Post two versions of the same piece of art, 1) sketch 2) finished art. It’s good to show art directors like me how you handle sketches. It’s good to model for emerging illustrators how detailed a sketch needs to be. Could be a useful thread.

Artwork for the current issue of @thetoypress magazine! A massive thanks to @suelancaster_author, I’m very chuffed to be included amongst the brilliant stories, poems and illustrations here. Design and cover art by @graphicartstype

The White Cat, fairy tales translated by Marie Catherine La Mothe, Countess d’Aulnoy in 1698. This version was published in 1847 but unfortunately the illustrator is identified only as “J.W.”
