Description

In this episode of the Las Musas podcast, Terry Catasús Jennings speaks with Cynthia Harmony, Mariana Ríos, Anna Orenstein-Cardona, and Eliza Kinkz about how picture books evolve during the editing and illustration process and how the work is truly a group effort. In this conversation, they delve into what it is like to do a revise and resubmit with editors, the importance of listening and being open minded while making sure to stand up for yourself, and what it feels like to see your book come to life through the eyes of an illustrator. Eliza Kinkz also shares her unique perspective of being an illustrator and how humor plays a big role in her artistic process.
