You guys!
I did it!
I started a kidlit podcast!
It’s called:
Kidlit with Kathy Ellen,
and it’s a podcast about all things kidlit related.
I want to celebrate authors and illustrators and librarians and teachers and booksellers anyone who loves kidlit and let them share their stories with you!
In this first episode, I’m talk about why I started this podcast, a little about me, and 12 mostly free ways you can get better at being a kidlit writer or illustrator.
You can subscribe on Itunes! Just search Kidlit with Kathy Ellen 🙂
