Most children's book editors will tell you that when they read a manuscript for the first time, they are always thinking about the potential illustrations. Which lines will go in the spread? What action will be illustrated? How can the illustrations and the text work together? What will the characters look like? What style of illustrations do we want? All of these questions, and more, run through our minds when we are working on a new picture book, but the last two are especially important early on. Many people might not realize that characters can go through many phases before they...

Hopefully we've finally made it through the bleakness of winter and into a brand new experience, one I think we're all more than a little ready for. 2014 has already brought about plenty of changes for Scarletta. Staffing, submissions, publications, buildings, processes, blogging, writing, etc: spring just seems like the right time to get into cleaning out and moving on. Of course, the largest change this year has been our...
