NY Times bestselling comic artist Kate Beaton and her husband, novelist Morgan Murray (hailed as the “Canadian Vonnegut”) join acclaimed husband/wife kid lit creators Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr in a conversation about their various journeys from independent/self-publishing to working with traditional publishers.
Discussion will include: 1) brief career arcs of all four creators 2) the pros and cons of independent vs. commercial publishing, 3) dreams versus what it’s actually like to make art for a living, 4) the thrills and challenges of making art (and babies!) with (or alongside) a fellow creator spouse, and 5) the strange fact that all four panelists own and/or live in a barn.
There will be some talking and then some Q&A.
