@carlianne Yes I did. I joined SCBWI and Storyteller Academy. SCBWI has lots of webinars/conferences/professional critique opportunities, and they have the opportunity to connect to PB creators on a local level through regional chapters. I have done a lot of their events over the years and volunteered, and have met so many great people through them. Storyteller Academy is like SVS learn, but for writing picture books. There are classes for illustrating too, so if you want to do both, I found it really helpful. They also have some great teachers just like SVS, and Ask-me-anything sessions from agents/editors/art directors. If you can only join one. I'd say join SCBWI now and plug into your local chapter, then save some money and wait for the huge thanksgiving event that Storyteller Academy does and join them then.

It feels like ages ago when we did that interview! I now work with another agent, have another book finished (coming out next month), the baby is 3 years, 2 book deals, a GN going out on submission this month, and I've started doing freelance and licensing work this year. A really good look back at how far I came since then.
