I am honored and excited to be the first author to visit the brand new Boulevard Books and Cafe in Brooklyn. This will mark the New York debut of our new book Dear Baby, It’s a Colorful World.  Sharing this playful and joyful book  at the launch of a beautiful new family oriented bookstore is fantastic!  

I will be in New York for Book Expo and for the IBPA Publishing University just prior to the Expo.  I am asked frequently to speak on writing and publishing books.  My advice for writers is always the same.  WRITE IT DOWN.  It won’t look as brilliant as the perfect story in your head.  That’s where the real writing and editing comes in.  But writing isn’t the only craft necessary to bring books to readers.  Writers in all size presses really need to educate themselves on the business side of writing and publishing.  I highly recommend the IBPA Publishing University in just a few weeks.  www.ibpa-online.org   I went last year and it was inspiring, educational, and full of vital information that helped us launch Dear Baby Books.  It will be the best investment you will make in bringing your books to market.
