"I loved watching Veronica Bartles's presentation on school and library visits with Matthew Winner. Great information on school visits, adapting your in-person visit to a virtual visit, and fun ways to connect with the students."
-June Smalls (author of ODD ANIMAL ABC'S)
“Annette’s webinar offered a fantastic overview of the work-for-hire market. I’ve written two WFH books, but I still gained valuable insights into different types of WFH projects, writing for different age groups, how book packagers work, and more. I also had Annette critique my WFH submission packet, and she provided clear, actionable suggestions on how to polish my submission materials.”
-Susan Johnson Taylor (author, participant in SCBWI webinar)
"Veronica was an absolute pleasure to work with. She had an easy-to-follow presentation prepared, was open to answering questions, and shared her insider knowledge and lessons from her years of experience with our authors. She is a great resource to help authors succeed in pitching book-related events."
-Kate Farrell (publicist, Familius Press)
