So I was at my boyfriend’s uncle’s sculpture unveiling (how funny that I am attending his family get togethers when he is out of the country) when I bumped into one of his aunts who is a pretty well known children’s book writer/illustrator. Anyway I asked her questions regarding my own project and she gave me lots of helpful advice, a website to look up where there are things about workshops, a book to read and various other tidbits about the industry.

And you don’t even need a lot of money to do it. Just save up, as I did, and do some planning. I studied abroad so that helped a lot because I was already there. I spent aprox. 2 months there, visiting France, Italy, Switzerland, England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. And youth hostels are the cheapest and best way to travel on a budget.
