Hi Andrea!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciated your article, bringing my attention to this great national event. I AM an up-and-coming Canadian writer and Illustrator of Children's Books,(https://www.davidschouhanart.com/) just beginning to ramp up my marketing.
I checked out the link you provided above, to Elizabeth Cook's list of Canadian authors. I REALLY liked how she presented the authors, including cover shots of their work, and I think that page will generate them some terrific publicity. I would be interested in getting onto that page!
I am curious if you have Elizabeth's contact info, or can possibly put her in touch with me? (My contact info is on my website.) I wasn't able to find her contact info online, and I'd like to connect. I'd be grateful if you could help in any way. Thank you, and have a Great day! :)
