In this episode:

• What I’ve been up to (and why this coffee chat is a bit late)!

• I entered a short story contest!

• I also entered a graphic novel pitch contest (eeep)!

• Learning to balance requirements and structure with trusting myself in my creative process (especially in the context of multiple contest submission rules)

• Things I’ve learned about my writing process while researching traditional publishing

• What’s next for my graphic novel query journey

• How It Feels To Me Picture Book Update (the first proof is sitting on my desk—throw me a 🎥 in the comments if you’d like to see an unboxing video!)

*Do you want to hear more about my graphic novel pitch packet/querying agents process? I’m new at this, and learning as I go, but I’m happy to share as I go along if you’re interested! Let me know in the comments!
