Children's Book Workshop

I spent the last two days in the James Kirkpatrick Library at UCM enjoying the Children's Book Workshop. During my two days I had the opportunity to listen to several authors and artists (Veda Boyd Jones, Cheryl Harness, Carolyn Mulford, and Jaime Thome), to practice the art of bookbinding, and to hobnob with other aspiring writers and published authors. Part of my requirements for taking the workshop for graduate credit is to submit a book proposal to a publishing house. I received good reviews from the two authors who reviewed my proposal. I am looking forward to incorporating their suggestions, finding a publishing house or two that might be interested, and sending off my proposal in two weeks.
