Children's Book WeekPosted by Kristi Jenkins in female authors , client news , children's book week |
As Children's Book Week draws to a close, we'd be remiss if we didn't share a couple of our favorite client successes. Yes, The Editorial Department works with children's books, and we're especially proud of these two. The first is The Goopy Ghost of Halloween by V.R. Duin. Goopy is the story of a displaced pile of pumpkin "goo" on the search for a new home after its pumpkin was turned into a jack o' lantern. V.R. worked with Renni Browne on this (and her second book, The Amazing Flight of Little Ray), and a sequel is in the works right now. The video trailer for Goopy is on the book's amazon.com page, and gives viewers a glimpse of both the story and the vibrant artwork. (Which, in my opinion, is one of the best parts of children's books!)
Another lovely book we had the privilege to assist with is The Chronicles of Joya by Liane Carter, an author based in the UK. Joya is a science fiction tale featuring a brave rabbit protagonist and her adventures on Earth. There is a wealth of information and media featuring Joya on Liane's web site, but my favorite part is Liane reading an excerpt from the book. It's always nice to hear a book in the author's own voice!
