Tina, wit...Hi all and thanks for leaving a comment. Tina, with regards to choosing an illustrator, your previous advice is for a large part correct. Different editors and publishers work differently. With some you feel very involved in the creation of the work; whereas others consider it out of your hands once you've signed off on the text. I've worked with four editors/publishers thus far. Two of them asked for input. I think that's also something that comes with experience and developing a realtionship with your editor.<br /><br />Wow, the end it in sight...just Trudie's place tomorrow. No wonder I had to go to my masseuse today and be pounded. I've been a vewy vewy bad girl according to her and shouldn't ever use my laptop in bed.

Angela - thanks fo...Hey Angela and hello again Cat<br /><br />Angela - thanks for having Cat visit today. <br /><br />The great thing of this blog tour is that I have learned something new each day.<br /><br />Today I am particularly interested to learn that you were able to recommend your illustrator - and that you got to use him. That is amazing. From conferences, talks and networking with other writers and illustrators this doesn't appear to be a common occurrence, and yet the two of you appear to work really well together and produced not only this beautiful book, but also another on dinosaurs - another to add to my growing pile of keeper books!<br /><br />Congrats Cat!<br /><br />And thanks again Angela for your visitor today.<br /><br />Bye 4 now<br />TinaTina Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523915072861591464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056170611552742279.post-24123221204415353962010-04-21T08:37:17.821+10:002010-04-21T08:37:17.821+10:00You're welcome, Cat.

I've...You're welcome, Cat. <br />Thanks, Sheryl.<br />I've been enjoying the whole tour and have learnt so much about echidnas.<br />I first saw 'Puggle' for sale in a 5 storey bookstore in Auckland, NZ, in early April. They had displayed it prominently near the main door together with the winners of the NZ Post Book Awards. I'm sure Puggle will be a big hit this year and feature in many awards.<br />Congratulations on the launch!Angela Sunde.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06746467825778475805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056170611552742279.post-66278655891343733302010-04-21T07:07:53.252+10:002010-04-21T07:07:53.252+10:00Yes, this was a very interesting conversation betw...Yes, this was a very interesting conversation between you two.
