| me, Isabel Warren-Lynch, Melissa Greenberg at the SCBWI SF Illustrator Day at Ft. Mason |
Twenty years ago my friend Debbie and I wrote and illustrated a children's book called RAT LOVE. We had no idea what to do with it, so we bought a copy of THE CHILDREN'S WRITER'S & ILLUSTRATOR'S MARKET. We noticed Isabel's name in the book under
Random House.We had heard of that company, so we sent her a copy. She wrote us back right away: the nicest rejection letter. Call me crazy, but I was elated. A letter from a real publishing company! Later on (
ten years later) Isabel
assigned a book to me to illustrate. And after that, five more.
Eight book covers, too.
Can you believe I finally met her in person today? Along with Melissa Greenberg, who was my art director?
