Picture Book Range: Writing Across Styles and Topics
Stick to one genre or diversify? What's a children's author to do?
Is it better to find your literary niche and stick to it, or should you strive to diversify your stories in as many ways as possible? How do agents and editors feel about the matter? What’s the best way to figure out which strategy to pursue?
Author Tameka Fryer Brown will share her philosophy on storytelling and diversification, particularly as it relates to book sales, author branding, and legacy-building.
Advocating for Yourself and Your Work
If you don't stand up for yourself, who will?
What does advocacy look like for a writer?
Jyoti talks about:
- how she discovered what she needed in an agent (and asked for it)
- how she advocated for her stories (when editors had different ideas)
- and what she’s learning about the publishing industry (it's not a monolith)

This session explores picture book categories, writing with both throughline and illustration in mind, the balance of fresh and familiar, and the role of research and cultural considerations.
Cynthia also discusses poetic prose, the craft of humor, and the revision process—both independent and editorial.
