I’ve learned that I need time and a quiet place to think and write. And while there, my own first picture books were published, and they kept coming. I met people there who became life-long friends. As editorial director, I got to work with wonderfully talented authors, illustrators, and author-illustrators. As sales manager, I got to work with a terrific crew of people who quickly taught me about the publishing business. It was while working for this company-first called Alphabet Press and then Picture Book Studio-that I began writing picture book texts. I’d built a number of the projects featured in the book, and I was listed as one of the “craftspeople" on the acknowledgements page, in tiny, tiny type.Īfter about a year in the photo-caption-how-to world, a friend I’d met during college called and invited me help him launch a new company that imported high quality children’s books from Europe. The book in which my name first appeared in print is called A Country Christmas Treasury. I worked for a small publisher who specialized in how-to books, the kind of books that have photos with informative captions below each one. After the songwriting came my first job in publishing.
