Long story short - In Spring 2017 my 2yr old daughter gets cancer. My partner and I enrich her imagination throughout treatment to keep her spirits up.
Much of the silliness we concocted forms the basis for a picture book that I set to work on and, after 3 years, have now completed.
The book is designed to appeal to all kids, but to have extra meaning to kids in hospital (and their parents) giving them a little bit extra courage and hope.
If I have to self publish, I will. But I first want to try and get an agent, publisher, yadda, yadda.
After an absence of several years (due to a variety of causes, including having my e-mail account hacked - leading to TWO laptops being put out of commission; also a long trough in my bi[polarity ]cycle), I've returned to work... as a writer, an editor, a translator, and a publisher. My "publishing hut" is currently undergoing a complete make-over. It's "breaking and entering" into the digital market.
So here I am, back on W&As, as well. I'm keeping busy (there's lots of work in converting past titles into digital format), but I'll try to look in here now and then.
Hello! I’m a 3rd year illustration student looking for a writer to collaborate with for my upcoming project. I’d like to collaborate with someone who has interest in mental health issues or have already written about mental health and is seeking an illustrator! My style is varied but mostly digital. If this interests you I can send my portfolio :)Â
Hello, my name is Rico, and I am a Character designer and book cover illustrator available to collaborate with you on your next project by adding my weird and wonderful character work. I design covers that engage, enlighten and entertain and I want to work with you if you want your work to stand out and be read as well visually, as the rest of your book.

Hiya all. Does anyone know if Puppy Dogs and Ice Cream publishers for children's books is a self publishing house or mainstream. Tried to go into it but can't find out. Thanks
 I have a few questions before I send any of my work to a literary agent.Â
Should all literary agents be part of the AAA?
Is there any advice about sending a picture book manuscript? I've read on separate LA pages that I will be required to send the whole book. Do I include notes about the characters/ settings etc or just the text in the story?Â
There's so many agents out there, so it's hard to know where to start. Any advice about sending a letter and manuscript will really be appreciated. Thank you so much, LoriÂ

I am currently writing a book about my favorite artists and bands. I will be mentioning many song titles and band names. I will not be quoting any song titles and there will be nothing negative about any of the songs or artists.
Where do I stand from a legal/copyright point of view in the UK?
