On Saturday, October 4, 2008, the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators held an event in Ottawa, Canada that focused on the relationship between children’s book creators and agents. The day included presentations, group discussions and private meetings with agents to review manuscripts.
On this edition of Just One More Book!!, Mark speaks with author/illustrator Peggy Collins and Agent Kendra Marcus about their private meeting in which Kendra reviewed and commented on Peggy’s latest project.
We’ve stayed in contact with Peggy since this interview was recorded. We provide an update on Peggy’s career and agent representation at the end of the interview.
Also very interesting to hear an agent’s honest assessment of an aspiring client’s work in the picture book field. So many agent interviews and blogs revolve around novels and so very few even mention PBs. Thank you, thank you!
