What’s New
WORKSHOPS - for your library or organization! As a published author and illustrator, graphic designer, and experienced public speaker, I offer a presentation on Self-Publishing Children’s Books 101. The workshop includes critical points such as:
* Idea/concept
* Story
* Importance of a dummy
* Design
* Illustration
* Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing
You might also consider hosting me with Picture Book Dummies: A Hands-on Workshop to help those with completed manuscripts learn how to make their story even better through the creation of a dummy.
Find details here or please contact me and inquire. I’d love to hear from you!
Big changes are afoot in my Etsy shop! You will now find my original art, prints, cards, and, for the first time, the opportunity to purchase my award-winning picture book, Where Do Butterflies Go at Night, 2nd Edition personally signed. And yes, there will always be some Frenchie items, too!
My shop is truly a work in progress, with new art added regularly. Take a look and see how I'm doing! Find me at JBalsamArt.
