| Dan's new picture book |
I moderated a panel of picture book creators at the LA Times Festival of Books earlier this month, and what Dan Santat shared about his process is still resonating for me.
For his picture books, Dan illustrates the entire book first without any words, and only then, once the story is working, does he add text, making sure the text isn't duplicating what the images have already said.
It seems like a brilliant strategy that even those of us who write but don't illustrate might try...
It's certainly working for Dan!
Illustrate and Write On,
Lee
