Today on Middle Grade Mavens we're doing something different in our bonus, "Ask The Editor," series. Running over January - February 2020, each week we'll bring you some insider information on what exactly is on some incredible Australian Children's book editor's wish list's. We hope this will be helpful for our author and illustrator listeners, who might be attending some great children's literature conferences in 2020. The Mavens are avid supporters of KidLitVic, of which the tickets go on sale 10 February, 2020. 
Today we have an illustrator in the hot seat in Nelle May Pierce. http://www.nellemay.com/
She had some wonderful insights into what happens after the contracts are signed, and how she goes about her illustration process. Plus she has two amazing books coming out in 2020, which we can't wait to get our hands on.
