099 - Our Writing Routines


Listen Later

The Founders of Picture Book Summit reveal their varied writing routines and what keeps them motivated and putting pen to paper.

  • Are they morning writers, evening writers, or something in between?
  • Who's a pantser? Who's a plotter?
  • How do they keep themselves accountable to get their writing done?
  • How important is a critique group? (Spoiler alert: VERY!)
  • Does our resident author-illustrator start with words or pictures?
  • How many manuscripts work on at the same time?
  • How many revisions does it take for their stories to feel ready to go out on submission?

The answers may surprise you, but we hope you'll find some inspiration and validation for your own process!
