We think our customers make great authors, and we'd love to help you out with the publishing process! That's why we're fortunate to have the help of the fantastic Anna Olswanger, a literary agent at Liza Dawson Associates where she specializes in illustrated work, both fiction and nonfiction, for young readers and adults. She has sold to Balzer & Bray, Bloomsbury, Bodys Mills Press, Dutton, Sleeping Bear Press, and Random House Children's Books, among other publishers. She also is an author herself: of the children's picture book Shlemiel Crooks, a Sydney Taylor Honor Book and a PJ Library Book.

So if you're interested in writing or illustrating a book, send an email here with any questions--anything from submission procedures to grammar. We'll email you Anna's professional response and also post it on this website--so check back for answers to yours and others' FAQs!
