Description
Marissa is joined by two co-hosts - her daughters, Sloane and Delaney! - to chat with Natasha Wing about her NIGHT BEFORE picture book series. We talked about how the standard length of picture books has gotten shorter over time, which both challenges writers and encourages tighter, stronger narratives; some techniques for adapting a well-known story for a contemporary audience; the amount of time it takes to write a picture book (and how deadlines are the universal motivator); and how illustrators bring new perspectives to the text, which can expand the story in wonderful and unexpected ways.Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyerBooks discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer Find out more and follow The Happy Writer on social media: https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/
