I do freelance illustration work for a variety of publishers. If you're interested in writing or illustrating for children's books, check out CWIM (Children's Writers and Illustrators Market). That book tells you which publishers are open to submissions and what exactly exactly you should send to them so that you appear professional. Also join SCBWI. Hope that helps.Kristi Valianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997984098630895653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35061338.post-74082908078013149862008-10-12T12:45:00.000-05:002008-10-12T12:45:00.000-05:00Hi there, sorry for replying late, wasnt around......Hi there, sorry for replying late, wasnt around... hey! do see this, this is what I did for my dutch client <BR/><BR/>http://www.allbookstores.com/author/Gulzar_Junaid.html anyhow!<BR/><BR/>I'm really intrested in doing some work for the bookhouse you are assoicated with; do you think that’s possible? lemme know! and i like the 60's style of colors in this artwork! cheers!Gulzarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476403873391594696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35061338.post-88746633948369997522008-10-12T09:38:00.000-05:002008-10-12T09:38:00.000-05:00great thinking on this, kristi! love the duotone, ...great thinking on this, kristi! love the duotone, the title treatment, the vintagey feel, very nice composition, too! would make a great book! :))froggie is...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00184410345586089398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35061338.post-45153563722010314252008-10-11T20:59:00.000-05:002008-10-11T20:59:00.000-05:00This is great, Kristi!
