PICTURE BOOK MARATHON:
In September 2008, a friend and I challenged
ourselves to a “Picture Book Marathon.” We wrote a picture book a day
for thirty days, minus four rest days, and created twenty-six new
manuscripts each. An article about our experience will appear in THE
BULLETIN of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators
soon. Come join the challenge when we organize another one.
