Many thanks to the teachers and students at Dimmitt Middle School in Renton, WA, which hosted their 7th annual Career Day yesterday. It was an honor to be invited and I had a lot of fun showing the students how a book comes to life, from the author’s first ideas, through the writing, submitting, and working with an editor, and on to the typesetting, design, illustration, and press.

I had a great time! It was a great experience to chalk up for my first school visit.
