I am BEYOND excited for your author/illustrator debut and just can't wait to get my hands on your books, Caroline! It will be neat to hear your perspective on the variance in process for projects where you are both author/illustrator vs illustrator only. This was such an interesting peek into the realities of picture book timelines. Your month-by-month breakdown of the process was so helpful! I had no idea that it was common for picture book projects to be stretched in that way. I'm excited to hear your updates as you dig into illustration soon. Thanks so much for the VBW shoutout. I've absolutely loved seeing your pieces! A Caroline creation in the mix is always a special treat!
Thanks Elizabeth =) I'm glad it proved a helpful insight. Its difficult to know what might be interesting to others, but I often find its the basic things that help the most. So much of this industry is either guarded or assumed knowledge, it's nice to be able to share some of my own experience. Loving the art challenge! So many great entries -you must be exhausted from all the sharing & commenting!
