The lesson is on tangents, but my critique partners like to call them Stangents, since I tend to find them like a bloodhound #greenscreen #greenscreenvideo @The Cuddlefish Academy @9news_denver #kidlit #themanymisfortunesofeugeniawang #artclasses
How I found a successful illustration art style with tips for digital illustrators on finding brushes that will set you apart and help you succeed in difficult times, even with Generative Ai infiltrating everything. Special shoutout to @lfcreative Luke Flowers, an amazing fellow Colorado illustrator.

Over 80 kidlit coaching sessions last year, and I couldn't be more honored or proud to work with all you talented writers and illustrators. Your creativity, passion, and talent give me so much hope! Hope for our industry, our children, and the world.
We'll be making some changes to coaching c0sts at the end of January to adjust for demand, so now is a good time to reserve your spot. Cuddle Coaching is good for six months.
And as always, we will be adding new children's book classes and opportunities in 2026. See you at Cuddlefish Academy, an online school for children's book writers and illustrators.

Shhhh! Quiet service announcement for children’s book authors and illustrators: Now is a great time to snag a coaching session with @cuddlefishacademy to achieve your 2026 goals. Manuscript or portfolio reviews start at as little as 25 for the virtual option that will give you a great, fast overview with resources and a recorded video. I’m sharing this because I don’t want you to miss out. I haven’t been promoting this because I’ve just been too busy with book deadlines but I know what a big difference it makes for creatives. #kidlit #manuscriptreview #portfolioreview
Will you be at #NCTE25 ? Come say “hi!” and enjoy these great sessions with writers and illustrators creating inclusive books to inspire young readers. I’ll also be signing “Bitsy Bat, Team Star” in the @ssedlib booth. #kidsbooks #bitsybat
If KidLit was dance. There’s more to children’s publishing than just reading some kids’ books and thinking it’s easy and you can do it better. There’s a lot happening under the hood you haven’t been trained to see, but it’s pretty obvious to someone who has been. Fortunately, there’s a lot of great ways to get that education. @cuddlefishacademy . c0m has classes and coaching to help you make your books better, and to help you get agented and published. I make a fool of myself because I care. 😆 #kidlit #writeakidsbook #publishachildrensbook
It took me a while to figure out how to actually finish projects, especially bigger projects, and it’s the one crucial thing to actually getting published. If you are needing tools like that, we have an awesome @cuddlefishacademy class for illustrators! #kidlit #projectmanagement #dummybooking
