DEBBIE OHI! Guest Post — It’s Worth the Wait

69 Comments / Guest Posts, In The Spotlight, Monday Musings / By

I am thrilled to be helping to promote friend and Canadian illustrator Debbie Ridpath Ohi’s first picture book on my blog. I hope you saw I’M BORED on my Perfect Picture Book Friday post last week. Today, Debbie has graciously agreed to do a guest post on my blog, and I am so grateful to her for sharing her thoughts about why, for her,  the long wait time in the traditional publishing process was worth it. Debbie Ridpath Ohi writes and illustrates for young people. She is the illustrator of I’M BORED by Michael Ian Black (Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers, Sept/2012) and her work also appears in the teen fiction anthology, TOMO (Stone Bridge Press, Mar/2012). Represented by Ginger Knowlton, Curtis Brown Ltd. For longer bios, see:  http://debbieohi.com/press-bio Also, see the interview Joanna Marple did with Debbie on September 5th. There are oodles of links near the end of this post — and there’s a GIVEAWAY! Any comment on this post will be entered for a chance to win a copy of I’M BORED. The winner will be announced next Monday, September 17th.  Read to the end of the post to find out how to get an EXTRA entry! And now let’s see what Debbie has to say. I assure you, you won’t be bored!

15 Comments / Coming Attractions / By

I decided to split the look back at August and look forward to September posts this month. We’ll look back tomorrow. We’re looking forward today. (Don’t spend too much time considering the logic of that. I don’t want you to do yourself an injury.) As you know if you’ve been around my blog over the summer, there have been a few changes in format and in content of posts. I hope you’ll find the changes to your liking. So get on with it, Beth! What’s coming up?
