Anyone working in #libraries and in a library #union? I have question and want to talk to someone who is already there. Bonus points if you helped organize the union or were there while it was being formed.

#introduction

I work for Scholastic as an executive art director in the hardcover picture book group. I plan to use Mastodon as an illustrator discovery tool and will be posting open calls here.

In the meantime I invite you to fill out my illustrator contact form: https://bit.ly/LaRossa_Illustrator_Contact

My primary account is https://typo.social/@LaRossa where I hang with fellow design nerds but I’m VERY excited about this new kid lit focused server!

Illustrator Contact

Hello, my name is Brian LaRossa. I'm an art director in Scholastic's hardcover picture book group, and I'm primarily responsible for our nonfiction picture books and our Acorn and Branches early graphic reader imprints. If you're an illustrator who is interested in working together I would love to hear from you! I've created this form to help me create a record of your interest. Please note that this form is not time-sensitive. I keep it live year-round. When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions. If your work is a good fit for an upcoming title I will reach out at that time. Until then, take care! Find me here: Website Mastodon Twitter
