Becky Grace - MA Publishing
Join me, Becky Grace, and children’s author Gianna Pollero, the genius behind the hilariously funny Monster Doughnuts series, as we discuss what it takes to be a children’s author. Drawing on writer and editor Susan Greenberg’s study on editing and the relationships within that process, we take you from agent to editor to illustrator, to find out how that team can bring your story from concept to printed book.
