Maryk Adams asked Bridget Hodder:

Hi Bridget; I'm interested in writing &especially the illustration, of children's stories/ books. I would like to know how you were noticed the first time? And getting published, is it expensive? I have entered your drawing because I would love a copy of your book as Inspiration!! Maryk Barendse-Adams 92661 Simonsen Rd Astoria,Oregon 97103

Bridget Hodder Hi Maryk, thanks for entering the giveaway, and I hope you got a copy! If you're a children's book illustrator who wants to be published, you couldn't start at a better place than your local SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators). You'll find community, instruction and inspiration there. And here's a link to an interview where I discuss the path to publication with a traditional publishing house: http://bit.ly/1Nxf2UB

Good luck!
