S. will still not let me tell anyone what her exciting news is, but she promised I could tell people this Sunday. But I wish she would let me tell now!!! Cuz it is so exicting!
Okay, so last Friday the Senior Editor at *** sent me a GREAT email! He said, "Thank for submitting, but it wasn't something that we'll beable to publish at this time. But please keep us in mind for future projects".
To this I replied, asking if he could answer two short questions.
1 - Could you suggest one thing that could make my P project more appealing.
2 - Can you tell me one thing about my P project you did like.
To this he respounded, "Your artist style and details you add to your drawings are amazing (two things). One of the biggest issues were the thumbnail looking facing of each person."
Wasn't that great he took the time to answer my questions and give me some great advice to think about!
Funny thing though, I drew the pictures with no faces on purpose. At this time, I am going to keep the pictures with no faces, because I think that is important, BUT if that is the feedback I am going to continue to get from a critque group or publishers, I will put faces on images.
I ain't that stupid, I want to have my parable projects published I will do what it takes to get them published.
I also sent my work to a children's book author Kristyn Crow. She is amazing too! She sent me an email that gave me some awsome direction! Seriously, great!
I am AMAZED, how the writing world is so willing to share their knowledge to help others on their way. Those in the WW that I have encounter like Amy Wadsworth, Robison Wells, Howard Tayler, and many others. I am grateful for their time, and the experiences they have shared with me.
If your a writer I found a great link to listen to other writers, it's on Brainburps blog. talks - How to submit a children's picture book.
I hope that you will find those that will motovate you to do your personal best, whatever it may be! Muah!
