Hi! I’m Jen White, your friendly neighborhood author-illustrator and dragon tamer (aka Creative Director).
I will always update my personal website with free new posts, but you can also subscribe to my free newsletter on Substack! Which means you'll get updates straight to your email inbox.
This newsletter will focus on things like: How to make picture books, how to get published, my creative practice, and the weird & wonderful things I find that are worth sharing (like my favorite children’s book authors and illustrators, art and science museums, podcasts, and more).
What's a newsletter
A newsletter is something you can "sign up" or "subscribe" to. That means, you’ll get an email from me once a month straight to your email inbox, as long as you sign up and subscribe by clicking this button here:
Who is this newsletter for?
This newsletter is perfect for educators, publishers, editors, artists, scientists, kids, and anyone who believes in creating magical picture books to inspire children to dream, and find calm and comfort under the stars.
Ugh newsletter.
Sound boring? You’re right! Let’s call this newsletter a book club. I plan to keep things short and snackable. If you like full moons, starry skies, museums with marble steps, antiquing, oil paintings, dinosaur bones, haunted libraries, magical and spooky ghost stories by the fire, you’ll love this.
What will I learn?
This book club is all about sharing the things that light up my world and will help you on your creative kidlit journey. Here's what you can expect:
Kidlit Adventures: Learn How To Make Children’s Books
Receive tips, tricks, and tales from the trenches of children’s book creation. Like navigating Homer’s Odyssey, but with less sea monsters and more coffee spills (note to self: find way to add in more sea monsters).
Creative Life: Behind The Scenes Of An Author Illustrator
Get never seen before sketches, process tips and tricks—like a backstage pass to my brain.
Get behind the scenes of my artist studio (spoiler alert: it’s in a small hallway).
Curated lists of Art & Science, and The Weird & Wonderful
Enjoy a curated list of my favorite books, museums, music and podcasts. I hope you share yours with me too.
Why Subscribe?
Free Subscribers: Monthly posts packed with creative goodness. Like getting a care package, straight to your email inbox.
Paid Subscribers: I haven't set this up yet! Maybe someday, but 'til then, all posts are FREE.
Bonus!
Occasionally, I’ll share links to books I love. When I do, I use Bookshop.org and earn a small commission. So, grab your coffee and join me in the Full Moon Book Club.
Be kind, be magical, be weird, & keep reaching for the stars.
Jen
Author Illustrator
