Advice for children's book authors: publishing, writing, and productivity. Beginners welcome!

Hello fellow writers. I am answering questions about writing children's books and building a supportive community of kid lit creators along the way! I'm the author of more than ten children's books; a former children's book editor; and a former kids' book buyer at a major independent bookstore. When I was almost forty I launched my second act, leaving behind a film and television career in Los Angeles to become an author. I believe every kid deserves to see themselves in the books they love and that it's never too late to start over, or START WRITING! Do you write for young readers? Do you want to? Are you overwhelmed? Burnt out? Unsure where to begin? If so, I'm glad you're here! Let's figure it out together.
