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. **Nebraska Members do not need to register.** Monday, September 29, from 7:00-8:00 pm (CST) on Zoom.
