THE POWER OF TWO - We all know about the power of three. But when it comes to picture books, it takes two: text and art! The industry standard is that authors and illustrators work separately. Join us as acquiring editor for Cardinal Rule Press, Adam Blackman, discusses notable exceptions to this standard and explores how closer collaboration between authors and illustrators can lead to work that is more than the sum of its parts. Offered by SCBWI Nebraska as part of their Creative Connections series. Monday, September 29, from 7:00-8:00 pm (CST) on Zoom.
As part of the event, all participants will have the opportunity to submit to Adam for three months following the event. Submission guidelines will be emailed after the event.
