12 x 12 October Featured Author – Samantha Berger
I’ll admit, I’ve been a fan from afar of Samantha Berger’s for quite some time. Mostly just of the “let me stalk her on Facebook” kind, but recently I decided to do something about it — invite her to be a featured author for 12 x 12. I mean, just check out her current headshot! […]
12 x 12 September Check-in!
“Wake me up, when September ends…” Wait — WHAT? It’s over?? That went at warp speed. No new draft for me this month what with all of the prep for Picture Book Summit, not to mention the Rocky Mountain regional SCBWI conference. I did, however, revise a draft I haven’t touched since last year, so […]

Tuesday 12 x 12 – Jana Locke
Jana is a writer after my own heart! Even being full-time writer, the majority of my writing does not take place with me huddled over my computer trying to get the words out. I write like Jana writes, and follow my books the way Jana follows her books. BUT I’m not going to steal any more […]
Tuesday 12 x 12 – Shelley Smithson
Please welcome today’s Tuesday 12 x 12 guest, Shelley Smithson, a fellow Michigander. I love Shelley’s realization that there is no “typical” writer. We’re all unique and have stories to write only we can tell. Writing is indeed a “calling.” Thank you, Shelley, for sharing your journey with us! The 12 x 12 writing challenge has […]

Tammi Sauer – 12 x 12 Featured Author September
She’s a singing chicken! She’s a monster! She’s a cave kid! She’s an alien! No, those are characters from among her many outstanding picture books (MR. DUCK MEANS BUSINESS is a favorite at our house). In truth, she is really a ROCK STAR picture book author who is unstoppable! With legions of fans, myself included, she delights […]
12 x 12 August 2015 Check-In!
My August check-in is short and not-as-sweet. I revised a draft early in the month but despite best intentions, did not write a new draft. As we start moving into the final months of the year (yikes!), I am going to have to shift into a higher gear. I hope you all had more writing […]

Tuesday 12 x 12 – Katie Furze
When we start on this journey it’s easy to believe, because we love writing and we love picture books, that writing picture books will be easy. I KNOW all of us picture book authors have been in the spot where we realized this is harder than we expected. The step we take next is what defines us […]
