Have a question? Ask Penny!

Our region has a new source you can turn to with all your burning questions about children's literature...

- How do I format my manuscript?
- How tall is the stack of money I will be sleeping on once I sell my 3,500-word picture book about my blind hamster, who also did the illustrations?
- Will it help me make sale if I offer to exfoliate the chapped heels of my editor and/or her assistant?

Actually, probably only one of these questions would get an answer. But if you want to sate your curiosity about an industry-related topic, write to Penny Withapen at advice@scbwi-washington.org. Penny's lover colleague, Seymour Goodart, will address illustrator inquiries.
