Any #askagent questions today?

Hilarious. And I am here to tell you that admitting you're a children's book illustrator leads to similar incidents. Someone once told me his idea for a children's book I could illustrate... during a colonoscopy.

Having one of those imposter syndrome days, yet still hoping upon hope, I’ve written the most imaginative/creative thing in the known universe. Wishful thinking or just explicitly INFJ of me? 😂🙏😉 one must hang on to their dreams and ideals in like fashion, or else maybe I really am an impostor.

Here's a drawing I did for Folktale Week a few years ago. I'm a writer and illustrator currently querying and seeking representation. You can see my art and stories at my website: www.johnlechner.com 🐝 #KidLitArtPostcard #KidLitArt

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! (just a tad bit late) I'm a children's book illustrator & author from the Netherlands. My books are published in (amongst other countries) France, Germany & Italy. My dream is to see them in English too someday. (My UK & USA friends keep nagging me😂) #kidlitart #kidlit"

🙏 Share this, please! 🙏 I just founded the Catalyst Creators Scholarship, which supports emerging authors who are brave enough to create picture books featuring underrepresented voices. My goal is to raise $1,000+ for 2 students. #kidlitmegafeed #kidlitchat #kidlit #childrensbooks

It’s business and it IS subjective. This is why you should query widely to find your best match. #kidlitchat #kidlitmegachat #mglitchat #kidlit #authors #picturebooks

My novel will find a home. It will. It will. It will. Click my heels 3 times, toss pixie dust, mix w/ dandelions, then fill brimful w/ luck (disguised as opportunity) & the laughter of gleeful children, then stir. Whatever recipe it takes! 🤞🤞🤞 #MGhistoricalfantasy #MGLiteraryAgents where are you?

More watercolor fun. It has masking fluid and is a WIP, not finished obviously.

Turned in my MG novel revision (yay!) and needed a mental break before starting a chapter book. The puzzle is called(well it should be) Death By Chocolate. My son called it 2,000 shades of brown. Now back to work! #kidlit

I've reached the stage of editing where I can't tell where the book ends and I begin. I am in its guts. It is in my guts. There are a lot of guts everywhere.
