**ALL NEW** Convey Emotions Through Illustration and Best Practices for Author/Artist Collaboration

EPISODE 81) By invitation, Artist Signe sits in as cohost to teach us some of her considerations when communicating emotions through illustration. We talk about the parallel between storytelling with words and storytelling with drawings. Spoiler alert: Story always comes first. We talk about how the author and artist can help each other arrive at the best project. Peggyann pops in for a few minutes in a prerecorded bit with me as we tell you about our new romcom with a twist of mystery serial on Substack:YOU SHOULD HOPEWRENLEIGH DUVALANDRAE VENNA BRENNANNEVER MEET.
