Wow! What a summer and what an incredible week it's been!

 
Yes, Summers are always a joyous time at the Bauerle home. Between Summer camps for the kiddos and lots of camping (this year we visited five National Parks) there is barely anytime left to devote to anything else. So now that school is back in full swing, I am attacking my writing and illustrating projects with a vengeance.
Can imagine how incredibly tickled I was this morning when I found out that I was one of the winners of Mira Reisberg’s contest for a scholarship to her upcoming e-course “The Craft and Business of Writing Children’s Picture Books?” Mira’s Picture Book Academy hosts a variety of incredible courses devoted to the writing and illustrating picture books. To give you an idea of the caliber of the material and instruction, over the past 8 months, 11 of her students have received 15 different publishing contracts for work that they developed during the courses that they have taken with Picture Book Academy. What a resume!
So, starting August 26th, I will be taking the 5 week online e-course. I am so excited. Thank you so much, Mira, for your wonderful gift.
Check out the course information and hopefully take the plunge and sign up yourself.
Happy creating to all.
