Quick and Clean Tips from Nancy Vo
Nancy is the former Illustration coordinator for the Canada West SCBWI (which is also my chapter). She did a wonderful time as Illustration coordinator and I loved how she brought us together during her tenure I’ve known Nancy for years and she always bring a magical energy to all the SCBWI meetings. I would like to say that Nancy is going to give us some quick and dirty tips today, but Nancy is far too clean for that.
- Make a book that you would like to read. Therefore, read a lot so that you can judge what is good and what is not so good.
- Leave room for the reader to draw conclusions, to have their own version of the story.
- Plus, what my late publisher, Sheila Barry said… no blunt instruments to deliver a message.

Thanks, Nancy, for these tips. I especially liked #2, leave room for the reader to draw conclusions. I will keep that in mind when writing PBs.
