Personally, I think using first person POV in picture books can lead to weaker storytelling since it's easy then to slip into telling a story.30 Mar 2026 17:07 +0000at://did:plc:zef6nepsobipsp4ank6l5bic/app.bsky.feed.post/3mic5llzops2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/socalledyalife.bsky.social/post/3mgx3n6xbo224New deal announcement for @leahrosekessler.bsky.social!

You know, the high fantasy world meshed with a workplace romance/comedy, and an almost contemporary voice. I'd love something like that. ONWARD & ASSISTANT TO THE VILLIAN is kind of what I am thinking. #MSWL22 Oct 2024 18:39 +0000at://did:plc:zef6nepsobipsp4ank6l5bic/app.bsky.feed.post/3l74oex55yg2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/socalledyalife.bsky.social/post/3l77auset4p2rThen we have poison gardens, herbalist vibes in a fantasy world.
