This was such an amazing FREE opportunity extended to all of our regional illustrators. This was made possible by the generosity of our member volunteers and of course by Cherry Mo--who offered to donate her time to pay it forward to other illustrators.
A big thank you for Cherry Mo sharing her time, story, expertise and utter charm! Cherry Mo deep dived into our regions Illustration portfolios and book dummies at the Switchyard in Atlanta! And it was AWESOME!!! 😎💚💙 #scbwi @scbwi-sobreeze.bsky.social #scbwiillustrator #cherrymo
