Marla Frazee shares some wisdom for Illustrators

Great advice - Thanks, Marla!

I'd suggest you check out the other eight videos as well. You can find the series online here at reading rockets.

Thank you SO much for this video/post. How wonderfully Ms. Frazee articulates the plight of illustrators and writers trying to get our first break! I never would have imagined that the mother of Clementine (the visual mother of Clementine) would ever have felt the things I'm feeling! It gives me hope. Thank you.
