Hey #kidlit illustrators, I’d like to gift a free, one-hour, portfolio-review/coaching-session. 1) reply with samples of your art. 2) repost this message. I’ll pick a winner at random next week from those who do both. Win or lose, I’ll take a close look at every reply. 💙❤️

Thanks to @SCBWISanDiego for the recognition during their MayFest event! #kidlit #kidlitart #childrensbooks #picturebooks #illustration
