It's so easy for me to get stuck inside, staring at this magic screen.<br /><br />And what I love about our readers is that their comments are so often poetry.<br /><br />Jan's comment surely is:<br />"The lucky monarchs - to have your midwifery JoAnn!...your work is jewel-like...the butterfly birth book...Wishing this project wings beyond your own backyard."<br /><br />Lucky US!

I actually think this sounds very marketable in form--well, in the context of poetry, which is highly unmarketable in general--but I wonder if the issue might partially by that there are so many monarch picture books already, including at least one poetry one. I hate that once a topic is covered in poetry in ONE book, the market considers it totally covered. Sigh. I love that you're keeping up with current research/issues--that's one thing that could definitely help with your marketability. Here's to an eventual sale!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-17552053926247296452014-06-17T20:50:51.230-05:002014-06-17T20:50:51.230-05:00Joann I hope you are going to sprinkle your haiku ...Joann I hope you are going to sprinkle your haiku throughout your non-fix book then.
