After more than 200 interviews with children's book authors and illustrators over nine years, I walked away from Picturebooking.
Now I'm thinking about what Picturebooking could become next.
I'll create things with and for kids, talk honestly about the business of making stories, and bring authors and illustrators into the process along the way.
But before I start all of that, I have one question:
Is anybody still interested in Picturebooking?
If at least 500 people sign up by December 1, I'll start making new episodes.
If you'd like to be one of them, sign up for free at picturebooking.com.

Welcome to the end of Picturebooking's fall episodes. We will be taking a break for a while, but before we go, we would like to leave you with some helpful creative advice and an excellent list of books to check out the next time you visit the library. Enjoy!
