RAR #271: An Inside Look at Writing & Illustrating a Picture Book with Katie Wray Schon
Manage episode 501540753 series 2127215
Today, I have a very special treat for you! This spring, our publishing imprint here at RAR, Waxwing Books, celebrated the release of Painting Wonder: How Pauline Baynes Illustrated the Worlds of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien at one of my favorite bookstores, Fabled Bookshop in Waco, Texas.
I had so much fun talking to Painting Wonder’s incredibly talented author and illustrator, Katie Wray Schon, about this picture book biography of the fascinating woman behind the iconic illustrations in the works of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.
We knew this conversation would be too good to keep to ourselves, so we recorded it, and now we’re sharing it with you!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Katie wanted to write and illustrate a picture book about Pauline Baynes
- Katie’s process for writing, illustrating, and revising a page-turning book
- What Katie would go back and tell her younger self, plus her favorite resources for aspiring authors and illustrators
