PICTURE BOOK Writing & Illustration

I have several dummies on submission as an aspiring author-illustrator. The stories I am drawn to creating are often tender and quietly heartfelt. Illustration-wise, I work primarily in the digital medium.

I am represented professionally in the children’s book world by agent Linda Pratt of Wernick & Pratt. Here is my profile page on the agency website.

In addition to co-organizing illustrator Pat Cummings’ Children’s Book Bootcamp annual workshop intensive, I have also been a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators since 2022.






PICTURE BOOK Design & Layout

In addition to designing books for the adult market, I have a growing pool of sample work for the picture book field. Showcased here are mock covers I have developed using my own illustrations as the base. The designs aim to engage readers and feel memorable through the use of careful color, format and composition considerations. 
Dummies are available on request to further provide examples of picture book interiors for layout and typography applied in-situ.
