I finished a first draft of a new PB that retells a story from Talmud. I’m very excited for this one but I need people to review it that are both familiar and unfamiliar with the story to see if it makes sense to anyone except for me.
One of my PB publishers sent me character sketches to review for accuracy in terms of representation of religious and secular communities. I’m so excited because I got to ‘meet’ my main character and I absolutely love her!
I sent out a draft of my Jewish folktale manuscript PB that I’ve been working on with an illustrator friend as a collaborative project to an independent editor. I should hear back from her next week. I hope that we work well together as having an independent editor should really help the submissions process since I’m querying publishers directly.
I’ve been thinking about inclusivity in Jewish spaces even more than usual in the past week in preparation for my upcoming talk.
I’ve fallen behind with my CP with my MG project and hope to be able to try to catch up next week.
