Why did you want to become an author or illustrator?
Growing up, I spent a lot of time enjoying books, movies, and fiction in general. Ever since high school, I loved the idea of being able to create stories for the next generation to enjoy as much as I had.
Do you have any advice for future authors or illustrators?
You don’t have to wait for someone to give you permission to begin writing. If you think you have a story to tell, or think you might want to be a writer, grab a pen, or your phone, and give it a try.
