Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)
Thank you so much! And I love the idea of adding pizzazz.π
The annual #50PreciousWords contest from @viviankirkfield.bsky.social is such fun! I love the challenge of telling a story in 50 words or less, plus the contest is a great way to connect with the amazing #Kidlit #WritingCommunity. Here's my entry: ono-mato-PIZZA! π #Pizza #PictureBook
Happy Purim π
