She'll chat with local author Elayne Craine about how they've worked together on Elayne's new book, THERE'S SOMETHING ODD ABOUT THE BABYSITTER, what Kat looks for in submissions, and what she's seeing in the children's lit market lately. She'll answer general questions and will talk briefly about what she'll share with participants of our 2025 Write in the Woods Retreat in November. Don't miss it!
